Modern-day DNS goes beyond a simple internet “phone book” service to provide dynamic traffic management, flexibility, and performance. In this episode of the O’Reilly podcast, I had a chance to discuss modern-day DNS and its role in building resilient infrastructure with Gary Sloper, VP of global sales engineering at Dyn.

In a recent episode of the O’Reilly Media Podcast, we spoke with George Miranda about the importance of service mesh technology in creating reliable distributed systems. As discussed in the new report The Service Mesh: Resilient Service-to-Service Communication for Cloud Applications, service mesh technology has emerged as a popular tool for companies looking to build cloud-native applications that are reliable and secure.

During the podcast, we discussed the problems a service mesh infrastructure solves and the service mesh features you’ll find most valuable. We also talked about how to choose the right service mesh for your organization, the challenges involved in getting it deployed to production, and the best ways for getting started with a service mesh.

At Google’s 2019 Cloud Next conference, I sat down with Stephen Thorne, site reliability engineer on Google’s customer reliability engineering team and co-author of "The Site Reliability Workbook," to talk about how organizations, both large and small, can use SRE to reduce operational costs, improve reliability, and create productive cross-functional teams.

How to Get Started With Site Reliability Engineering (SRE)

In this interview, Tim Craig and fellow Googler Gustavo Franco, a site reliability engineer (SRE), discuss the wide range of events that qualify as “incidents;” the need for a conscious, robust, and well-defined process for understanding them; the role of training; and how to get buy-in from management so you can spread incident response training throughout an organization.

O'Reilly Media spreads the knowledge of innovators. At O’Reilly, a big part of our business is paying attention to what’s new and interesting in the world of technology. We have a pretty good record at having anticipated some of the big technology developments in recent history. For instance, we launched the first commercial Web site, GNN, in 1993; we organized the meeting at which the term “open source” was first adopted; we were early investors in Blogger, which helped launch the blogging revolution; and more recently, our Web 2.0 conference launched a world-wide meme. We call this predictive sense the “O’Reilly Radar.” And while we’re certainly not always right, we are, at least, good at making interesting guesses.

Our methodology is simple: we draw from the wisdom of the alpha geeks in our midst, paying attention to what’s interesting to them, amplifying these weak signals, and seeing where they fit into the innovation ecology. Add to that the original research conducted by our Research team, and you start to get a good picture of what the technology world is thinking about.
