Applying SRE Principles to CI/CD

The text discusses the challenges faced in Continuous Integration and Continuous Deployment (CI/CD) due to flaky tests, slow builds, and lack of trust in the system. It highlights how Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) principles can be applied to improve CI/CD reliability. SRE focuses on improving operational practices, efficiency, and the reliability of core systems by using Service Level Objectives (SLOs), Service Level Indicators (SLIs), and Error Budgets. The author suggests starting with one SLO and maintaining the current level of system reliability as a first step towards implementing SRE principles in CI/CD.
