Value results
| Category | Value result |
|---|---|
| Productivity | Handoffs in reliability engineering sit in a shared queue instead of a mailbox trail |
| Risk and compliance | Azure DevOps is the governed place SRE and operations use for reliability engineering |
| Capability | New joiners can see how reliability engineering actually runs |
Story
3M grew backup and failover faster than the local tools around it. From the United States, industrials teams still had to serve customers and internal partners who expected a straight answer. SRE and operations were the ones stitching the picture together by hand.
Rolling out Azure DevOps put reliability engineering on Microsoft Azure. Microsoft Azure is a public cloud platform for infrastructure, data, AI, and application services used by enterprises to host and modernize workloads. 3M keeps the product in the path where work already happens, so SRE and operations do not context-switch into a graveyard system used only for audits.
The visible result is steadier reliability engineering. Backup and failover is easier to inspect, and adjacent groups can join SRE and operations without a guided tour of someone's desktop.
