It's an opportunity to deliver a spectacular service with amazing quality of experience. This talk will go over how we measure the quality of experience for our members and how we work to develop new metrics when we have additional offerings like live streaming and cloud gaming.

“LLM for SRE / Using LLM in SRE space”
LLMs open up an opportunity to automate and scale many operational processes, which couldn't be otherwise solved by conventional methods. Examples include simple summarization of issues and incidents, assisting production on-callers, managing incidents, clustering (creating taxonomy) of issues, scaling SRE via assisted review of development design documents. Therefore LLMs provide a new and unique opportunity to transform the work we do as SREs.
Mike works in YouTube Ads SRE as well as co-leading LLM4SRE, LLM center of competency in SRE at Google
