Cloud-based reliability engineering

“

Hello, and welcome to Reliability Engineering in the Cloud. I'm Maria Brater, a passionate technologist, NYU professor, conference speaker, book author of Reliability Engineering in the Cloud, and also someone who has spent the last 25 years leading organizational transformation and building award-winning products for Fortune 100 companies. Over the seven lessons in this course, my colleague and the global leader in cloud reliability engineering, Carlos Rojas, and I will share something that will change how you think about your cloud systems. Because today, it's not enough to just build fast or build smart. We have to build resilient. Building reliable systems isn't just a technical problem anymore. It's a business survival strategy. But let me be clear from the start, this is not a traditional site reliability engineering SRE course, is the next generation, a practical AI powered cloud native evolution of SRE. Here we'll bridge technology with real world execution, we'll bring in tools from AWS, Google Cloud, Azure and leading open source technologies. But let me start with this, who is this course for? This journey is designed for two primary groups. First, the enterprise leaders, VPs, CTOs, directors, the ones who send strategy across hundreds or thousands of teams and services. You know the challenge, operational agility, faster incident response, scaling reliability across complex cloud ecosystems. And second, it's engineers, architects, and product teams, the builders, the one who create, maintain, and defend the reliability of cloud applications every single day. Because here is the reality. Old methods do not work anymore for today's cloud dynamic environments. Cloud reliability engineering infused with AI becomes the new foundation for your company's competitive advantage. is the next step in protecting your business and your customers. One of my mentors once told me, you do not judge a captain by how they sail in calm waters. You judge them by how they survive the storm. And the same goes to our systems. Reliability is not about making sure that nothing ever goes wrong. That's impossible. Reliability is ensuring that when things go wrong, and they will, your systems will recover fast. Your customers stay happy and your business keeps moving forward. So, what makes this course different? Cloud environments today are more complex, more interconnected and more dynamic than ever. Traditional reliability models are no longer enough. So, in this course, you will learn how to move beyond the old playbooks into a new world. We'll walk through how to design for resilience from day one, how to test for resilience through chaos engineering, how to use observability not just to monitor but to predict, how to leverage AI to speed up incident detection and recovery, and how to build a culture of operational excellence, the one that doesn't just survive, it thrives. So why take this course now? Today, organizations who don't compete on features, the ones who compete on trust are most successful. And trust is earned through reliable, seamless, always on customer experience. So cloud reliability engineering elevated by AI and cloud native tools is now your core competitive advantage. The companies that master it will lead and the companies that will not, will not survive. So if you want to be part of shaping the future of cloud systems and not just reacting to it, you're exactly where you need to be. So in this course, I invite you to think beyond static monitoring dashboard and embrace true observability. Think beyond traditional incident responses and embrace AI assisted automation and think beyond reactive fixes and architect systems that anticipate, adapt and heal. As Peter Drucker famously said, what gets measured gets managed. And I would add, what gets architected for resilience becomes your greatest asset. Hi, my name is Carlos Rojas. I'm a global technology executive and transformational leader with a 25 year track record of driving innovation, platform engineering, GNI, and operational excellence at Fortune 100 companies. I'm recognized for pioneering advancements in reliability engineering and cloud infrastructure global expansion, enabling organizations to scale through automation in highly regulated environments. I'm a conference speaker and a book author of Reliability Engineering in the Cloud. So thank you for trusting me and my colleague, friend, and engineering executive, Carlos Rojas, to be your guides on this journey. With that, let's dive in and build cloud systems that can rise above any storm.
