SRE Checklist

SRE Checklist is a practical, operations-focused checklist for running reliable services the way Site Reliability Engineering recommends. It breaks SRE good practices into concrete items: SLIs/SLOs, alerting, runbooks, on-call processes, capacity planning, backups, security, and incident response. Instead of only describing SRE theory, it turns it into “did you do this yet?” items that teams can track as they harden their systems. This makes it especially helpful for organizations that are new to SRE and want to operationalize reliability without inventing everything from scratch. The checklist format also makes audits and maturity assessments straightforward: you can see at a glance what’s in place and what’s missing. Over time, teams can adopt it as part of their service-readiness or launch checklists.
