If you’re listening for the first time and wonder what does an Omelette has to do with SRE - it is based on the analogy that Culture is the outcome of what we do - so in the context of the chicken or the egg. It is like an Omelette.

In season 1 of the show, we focused the culture and practice to achieve the reliability engineering outcome. Season two is all about how the practice of Site Reliability Engineering can play a big part in helping and leading us to a more sustainable future.

Sustainability is a popular topic these days - but what exactly is Sustainability? What is this ESG thing? And why the buzz now? Join us to demystify Sustainability and kick off Season 2 is Christina Shim.

Christina explains sustainability as leaving the planet better than we are now - meet today's needs and also making sure demands of tomorrow can be met as well. She explains the ESG framework and goes to highlight we shouldn't let the conversation stop at what fits into the bucket of ESG.

Christina has a set of call to actions for all of us to take at the personal, team and organization level to make a difference now. Listen in as we take on the pledge to arrive at a more sustainable future.
