Many companies are adopting SRE. SREcon is a fabulous way to learn about how others in the industry are implementing and approaching SRE. We learn about some companies through talks, and others through networking. This BoF has two aims: a) share our companies successes and challenges in implementing SRE and b) consider if the industry would benefit from having a survey and white paper (similar to the State of DevOps survey and white paper).
