85% of organizations say their ability to scale SRE practices will depend on automation and AI capabilities
WALTHAM, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Software intelligence company Dynatrace (NYSE: DT) today announced the release of a new, in-depth State of SRE report, based on an independent survey of 450 site reliability engineers (SREs). The report highlights that SREs are taking on a more strategic role, as organizations have a growing need to ensure teams have the answers and intelligent automation needed to accelerate digital transformation. The growth of new technologies used in cloud-native development, however, has created an explosion of complexity that is hindering these efforts. The “State of SRE Report: 2022 Edition,” is available for download here.
The research reveals:
“Reliability, experience, and security have become critical success factors in a world where every second of downtime leads to lost revenue, declining share prices, and lasting reputational damage,” said Bernd Greifeneder, Founder and Chief Technology Officer at Dynatrace. “This makes SRE central to driving faster digital transformation. Most organizations, however, remain relatively immature in their adoption of SRE practices. At a time when demand far outstrips the supply of skilled engineers, organizations should be doing everything in their power to amplify the efforts of these teams. Despite this, manual steps and unnecessary effort are a major distraction for SREs, which holds organizations back. SREs must define a ‘golden path,’ a set of steps development teams can take to navigate the complexity of cloud-native delivery, to overcome these barriers and fully unleash digital innovation.”
Additional findings from the report include:
“SREs need a single, unified platform that enables reliability, security, and automation by default,” continued Greifeneder. “Self-service observability and monitoring-as-code capabilities are key, allowing development teams to build feedback loops into their applications in just a few clicks. Through this, SREs will lead the charge in going beyond basic automation to smart orchestration of customer experience and business outcomes. That will empower organizations to drive digital transformation faster than ever, through self-healing cloud applications that quickly scale with business needs. As a result, SREs can be free to focus on the things that are core to their role, enabling them to create greater value by driving best practices for reliability, resiliency, security, and performance, to ultimately deliver better business outcomes.”
This report is based on a global survey of 450 SREs from large organizations with more than 1,000 employees, including 150 in the U.S., 150 across EMEA, and 150 in Asia-Pacific. The research was conducted by Coleman Parkes and commissioned by Dynatrace.
