Udacity is a private online education platform founded in 2011 with the mission of providing affordable, accessible, and flexible learning opportunities. It specializes in industry-relevant courses and programs, often referred to as "Nanodegrees," designed in collaboration with leading companies such as Google, Amazon, and IBM. Udacity focuses on technology, programming, data science, artificial intelligence, cloud computing, and other in-demand fields. Its innovative approach emphasizes practical, project-based learning, making it a popular choice for upskilling and reskilling professionals worldwide.

The goal of the Site Reliability Engineer (SRE) Nanodegree program is to equip software developers with the engineering and operational skills required to build automation tools and responses that ensure designed solutions respond to non-functional requirements such as availability, performance, security, and maintainability. The content will focus on both designing systems to automate response to issues with software sites as well as how to respond to common on-call situations.
