Raising my understanding of site reliability engineering at @sreday_com’s SRE Day 2023 in London. Lots on its value, incident response/management, observability, dashboarding, SLO’s, feature flags, automation and lots more. Day 1 over. @Liberty_IT

4 weeks since @VodafoneUK cancelled our account and broadband when we asked for an upgrade. Hampering our ability to work from home. No sense of urgency to fix, mislead over what happened and told “we have millions of customers+we’re busy”. Not living their values @AhmedShelbaya

Disappointing @VodafoneUK customer service. Broadband upgrade ordered and agreed upon then they cancel the order, we are told it will be 5 weeks for engineer and we’ll be charged the upgraded price in the meantime. None of this was discussed on the original upgrade call. Terrible

And it’s a wrap! Yesterday Liberty IT sponsored a 12 hour hackathon with very talented 1st & 2nd year Ulster University students. Students joined virtually from NI, Belgium & India. Looking forward to seeing some faces again for their Intern year at @Liberty_IT. @ComMat

POC’ing an app out on #AWS . Needing to switch from Aurora MySQL to Aurora PostgreSQL takes literally mins to provision and prove out the app. Long gone the days where this would take weeks to request and provision internally - anyone else remember those days/still at those days?
