- Site reliability engineers (SREs) combine engineering experience and an innate drive to improve existing systems and processes, with the creativity to develop novel solutions to evolving challenges. For organizations, SREs are typically responsible for the availability and reliability of critical platform services and applications, ensuring they meet the requirements of internal and external users. The best SREs are motivated to collaborate with business leaders in building and running sustainable production systems, which can evolve and adapt to changes in a global business environment.

- Reliability engineering is the discipline of ensuring a system meets customer expectations for reliability throughout its life; i.e., it does not fail more frequently than expected. Next to prediction of failure, it is just as much about prevention of failure. Reliability engineering applies to all aspects of the system. It is closely associated with maintainability, availability (dependability or RAMS preferred by some), and logistics engineering. Reliability engineering is always a critical component of safety engineering, as in failure modes and effects analysis (FMEA) and hazard fault tree analysis, and of security engineering.
