GCP SRE Playbooks

Overview

This skill provides a collection of playbooks and reference materials for SREs to investigate and mitigate incidents on Google Cloud Platform. It focuses on mapping generic SRE concepts (discovery, mitigation, postmortem) to specific GCP/GKE actions.

Naming Convention

Playbooks follow a deterministic naming convention based on the GCP API service name, located in the references/googleapis.com/ directory. Example: run.md (for run.googleapis.com). Each file should also explicitly list the full API name at the top.

When to Use

• When starting an investigation and needing to discover the infrastructure.
• When following a specific mitigation strategy (e.g., rollback, traffic shifting).
• When a user asks for "GCP playbooks" or "SRE playbooks".
