Why Choose This Project?

Modern cloud applications require high availability, scalability, and rapid incident resolution. SRE tools help teams proactively plan resource capacity to handle traffic spikes and respond quickly to incidents to minimize downtime. This project teaches students how to monitor system performance, forecast resource needs, and manage operational incidents efficiently.

What You Get

Real-time system metrics and dashboards for capacity planning
Incident tracking and response dashboard
Automated alerts for performance degradation or failures
Resource utilization trends and forecasting
Historical reporting for capacity and incident analysis
Integration with cloud monitoring and ticketing systems

Cloud Services Used

• AWS / Azure / GCP – Monitor and collect metrics from cloud resources

• Cloud Storage – Store historical metrics and incident logs

• Grafana / Prometheus – Visualization and monitoring

• PagerDuty / Opsgenie – Alerting and incident management

Working Flow

1. Data Collection – Collect system metrics (CPU, memory, disk, network) from cloud instances, containers, and services.

2. Metrics Aggregation – Store metrics in Prometheus or cloud monitoring services.

3. Capacity Analysis – Analyze trends and forecast future resource requirements.

4. Incident Detection – Trigger alerts when metrics breach thresholds or anomalies occur.

5. Dashboard Visualization – Display metrics, capacity forecasts, and incidents in a real-time dashboard.

6. Incident Management – Track open incidents, assign responders, and log resolution steps.

7. Reporting – Generate historical reports for capacity usage, incident response, and SLA compliance.
