I used to be a scientist and I went to work at Google to apply their technology to science problems. My first team was SRE- and I have to say, Google's SRE approach to computing completely changed how I thought about things, and more importantly, how I programmed systems that went to production. I've read the SRE book and can highly recommend learning from the principles it lays out.
Can you please give reference to that book ?

I've been seeing a lot of references to SRE recently. Is Google trying to market this position and acquire more engineers? The SRE book, and Google in general, have mentioned that SREs are notoriously hard to hire, and I'm wondering if they are doing a marketing push.

The book they mention[1] is very good so far. [1] https://play.google.com/store/books/details/Betsy_Beyer_Site...

Oh and while Google Play may be cheaper, it's also on Safari books if folks have subscriptions to that, e.g. via libraries/proquest.

SREs are very hard to hire, speaking from experience. At Google SRE directors and VPs will often cherry-pick promising candidates from the mainline SWE hiring pipeline and give them a "hero call" to convert them to SREs. SREs at Google are also paid more, controlling for level and performance, as a way to hire and retain.
