Site Reliability Engineering - CI/CD Glossary Definition

Site reliability engineering (SRE), originated at Google, applies software-engineering practices to operations, using error budgets and service-level objectives to balance reliability against the pace of change.

In CI/CD

SRE uses the error budget to gate releases: when a service has spent its budget, the pipeline can pause risky deploys, linking delivery speed directly to measured reliability.
