Slogan in SRE

SRE: Site Reliability Engineering 很多章節開頭都有一段很有深意的 標語 (slogan)，這些話都很簡單，卻也讓人省思。

Ch1 Introduction

Hope is not a strategy.
不能將運氣當作戰略

Ch5 Eliminating Toil

如果系統正常運轉中需要人工干預，應該將此視為一種 Bug。『正常』的定義會隨著系統的進步而不斷改變。
If a human operator needs to touch your system during normal operations, you have a bug. e de nition of normal changes as your systems grow.

Ch7 The Evolution of Automation at Google

Besides black art, there is only automation and mechanization.
黑科技之外，就只剩下自動化和機械化了。
– Federico García Lorca (1898–1936), Spanish poet and playwright

Ch9 Simplicity

The price of reliability is the pursuit of the utmost simplicity.
可靠性只有靠最大程度的簡化，不斷追求而得到
– C.A.R. Hoare, Turing Award lecture

Ch10 Practical Alerting from Time-Series Data

May the queries flow, and the pager stay silent.
讓查詢來得更猛烈些吧，讓尋呼機永遠保持沈默
– Traditional SRE blessing

Ch12 Effective Troubleshooting

Be warned that being an expert is more than understanding how a system is supposed to work. Expertise is gained by investigating why a system doesn’t work.
值得警惕的是，理解一個系統應該如何工作並不能使人成為專家。只有靠調查系統為何不能正常工作才行。
– Brian Redman

Ways in which things go right are special cases of the ways in which things go wrong.
系統正常，只是該系統無數異常情況下的一種特例。
– John Allspaw

Ch13 Emergency Response

Things break; that’s life.
東西早晚要壞的，這就是生活。

Ch14 Managing Incidents

Effective incident management is key to limiting the disruption caused by an incident and restoring normal business operations as quickly as possible.
有效地景及事故管理，是控制事故影響和迅速恢復營運的關鍵因素。

Ch15 Postmortem Culture: Learning from Failure

The cost of failure is education.
學習是避免失敗的最好辦法。
– Devin Carraway

Ch17 Testing for Reliability

If you haven’t tried it, assume it’s broken.
如果你還沒開始親自測試過某件東西，那麼就假設他是壞的。

類似想法：輕鬆聊系統測試 (SVT) 的三兩事

FVT (Functional Verification Test): 假設功能都還沒準備好
SVT (System Verfication Test): 假設功能都好了 (Non-Functional)

Ch22 Addressing Cascading Failures

If at first you don’t succeed, back off exponentially.
如果請求沒有成功，以指數型延遲重試
– Dan Sandler, Google Software Engineer

Why do people always forget that you need to add a little jitter?
為什麼人們總是忘記增加一點點抖動因素呢？
– Ade Oshineye, Google Developer Advocate
