About the CSRP Certification

The Certified Site Reliability Professional (CSRP) is designed for engineers who are already working in SRE or reliability roles and want to go deeper. You will master advanced SLO management, complex incident response, reliability architecture patterns, and team-level SRE practices.

The Certified Site Reliability Professional (CSRP) is part of the SRESchool progressive certification framework. It validates that you can apply intermediate-level Site Reliability Engineering principles in real production environments — not just describe them.

Prerequisite Knowledge

CSRE certification or equivalent 1–2 years of hands-on SRE or reliability engineering experience. Working knowledge of SLOs, monitoring, and incident management is expected.

This certification is for

  • Site Reliability Engineers with 1–3 years of experience
  • Platform Engineers deepening reliability skills
  • DevOps Engineers working in production reliability
  • Cloud Engineers managing production systems
  • Engineers preparing for senior SRE roles
Exam Blueprint

Knowledge Domains

The CSRP exam covers the following knowledge domains. Each domain has a percentage weighting that reflects its importance in the overall assessment.

Advanced SLO Design & Management 20%
Advanced Observability & Distributed Tracing 20%
Chaos Engineering & Resilience Testing 20%
Reliability Architecture Patterns 15%
Capacity Planning & Performance Engineering 15%
Team SRE Practices & Leadership 10%

What you will be able to do

  • Design advanced SLO frameworks for complex, multi-service systems
  • Lead incident response as incident commander
  • Implement distributed tracing and advanced observability
  • Apply chaos engineering principles for proactive reliability testing
  • Design capacity planning strategies for production systems
  • Mentor and guide junior SRE team members
