SRE Prodcast brings Google's experience with Site Reliability Engineering together with special guests and exciting topics to discuss the present and future of reliable production engineering!

  1. VOR 3 TAGEN

    The One with Parker Barnes, Felipe Tiengo Ferreira, and AI

    This episode of the Prodcast tackles the challenges of maintaining AI safety and alignment in production. Guests Felipe Tiengo Ferreira and Parker Barnes join hosts Matt Siegler and Steve McGhee to discuss AI model safety, from examining content to emerging security risks. The discussion emphasizes the vital role of SREs in managing safety at scale, detailing multi-layered defenses, including system instructions, LLM classifiers, and Automated Red Teaming (ART). Felipe and Parker dive into the evolving world of AI safety, from core product policies to the groundbreaking Frontier Safety Framework. The guests explore the need for SRE principles like drift detection and context observability. Finally, they raise concerns about the velocity of AI development compressing long-term research, urging the industry to collaborate and share vocabulary to address rapidly emerging risks.

    The One With Shannon Neufeld-Brady and Operating Systems

    In this episode of the Prodcast, guest Shannon Neufeld-Brady speaks with hosts Jordan Greenberg and Florian Rathgeber about managing Google's vast fleet of internal devices. Shannon explains how Google's Linux platform uses core SRE principles—specifically testing, canarying, and monitoring—for weekly stage rollouts of its Debian-based distribution. Configuration is efficiently managed using Puppet to ensure the right setup for a diverse user base. The conversation pivots to "the year of Linux everything," underscoring its widespread adoption. Discussing AI, Shannon identifies its greatest utility for SREs in rapidly analyzing signals and generating complex queries to resolve outages. This episode reinforces that practicing SRE fundamentals is paramount, demonstrating that you can be an SRE at heart, regardless of your official title.

    The One With Heather Adkins and Security (and AI)

    Join us on The Prodcast as we host Heather Adkins, leader of Google's Office of Cybersecurity Resilience, for a critical look at the future of digital defenses. We explore the intersection of SRE and security , unpacking the "Secure by Design" philosophy and the shared DNA of incident management. Heather candidly discusses the rise of "Agentic AI hackers" and polymorphic malware , revealing how defenders can use AI to stay ahead. From "castle" defense strategies to "nodal biology" theories, this episode is a must-listen for anyone navigating the new era of AI-driven threats.

    The One With Steph Hippo and Observability

    In this episode, Steph Hippo, Platform Engineering Director at Honeycomb, joins The Prodcast to discuss AI and SRE.  Steph explains how observability helps us understand complex systems from their outputs, and provides a foundation for SRE to respond to system problems. This episode explains how AI and observability build a self-reinforcing loop.  We also discuss how AI can detect and respond to certain classes of incidents, leading to self-healing systems and allowing SREs to focus on novel and interesting problems. She advises small businesses adopting AI to learn from others' mistakes (post-mortems) and to commit time and budget to experimentation.
