How To Slash Your Mean Time To Recover with Auto-Remediation

Site Reliability Engineers (SREs) are spending 67% of their time on reducing Mean Time to Recover (MTTR), according to a recent report by monitoring tool provider Dynatrace.

Gartner state that 75% of organisations will be using SRE organisation-wide by 2025. And as SRE becomes more strategically important and reliability leaps up the leadership agenda, SREs need to be able to shift-left and start embedding reliability into services at the architectural stage.

Auto-remediation is the ability to use advanced automation to sense issues, effect solutions and restore service; reducing TOIL and enabling SREs to shift-left.
