Machine Learning is an incredibly hyped set of technologies. It seems that ML is becoming an important part of distributed computing. I'll review whether SREs need to know anything about ML yet (probably you do—sorry!). And since ML reliability is challenging, I'll suggest some changes required for most SREs and even some significant changes to our profession. Finally, I'll review the state of using ML to automate production with an extremely skeptical eye.
