Крис Джоунс — новинки

Вот уже почти 20 лет компания Google обеспечивает работу невообразимо сложных и масштабных систем, которые чутко реагируют на запросы пользователей. Поисковик Google находит ответ на любые вопросы за доли секунды, карты Google с высочайшей точностью отражают земной ландшафт, а почта Google доступна в режиме 365/24/7 и, в сущности, стала первым общедоступным облачным хранилищем. Неужели эти системы безупречны? Нет, они тоже отказывают, ломаются и устаревают, как любая техника. Просто мы этого не замечаем. Все дело в том, что уже более десяти лет Google нарабатывает уникальную технологию Site Reliability Engineering, обеспечивающую…

The overwhelming majority of a software system’s lifespan is spent in use, not in design or implementation. So, why does conventional wisdom insist that software engineers focus primarily on the design and development of large-scale computing systems?

In this collection of essays and articles, key members of Google’s Site Reliability Team explain how and why their commitment to the entire lifecycle has enabled the company to successfully build, deploy, monitor, and maintain some of the largest software systems in the world. You’ll learn the principles and practices that enable Google engineers to make systems more scalable, reliable, and efficient—lessons directly applicable to your organization.

This book is divided into four sections:
- Introduction—Learn what site reliability engineering is and why it differs from conventional IT industry practices
- Principles—Examine the patterns, behaviors, and areas of concern that influence the work of a site reliability engineer (SRE)
- Practices—Understand the theory and practice of an SRE’s day-to-day work: building and operating large distributed computing systems
- Management—Explore Google's best practices for training, communication, and meetings that your organization can use

Each level of Practical Grammar has 100 units, divided into modules of five units. Each module examines a particular area of grammar. The grammar is set in short, everyday conversations or texts, showing the language in natural situations which students will find engaging and can relate to. Students then examine the form, meaning and use of the language before practising it in a variety of activity types. A Review section concludes each module and regular tests check students' progress. Each level comes with two audio CDs and a pin code which allows access to MyPG for extensive additional online practice for use at home or in self-access centres.

Real language in natural situations: exposes students to grammar at work
Listening and pronunciation: two audio CDs provide listen and check support and key pronunciation of the grammar items
Key vocabulary: high frequency words and expressions in each unit
Tips: highlight common errors and characteristics of English Grammar
Regular review and progress tests: give students the opportunity to check their learning
