You support a service that recently had an outage. The outage was caused by a new release that exhausted the service memory resources. You rolled back the release successfully to mitigate the impact on users. You are now in charge of the post-mortem for the outage. You want to follow Site Reliability Engineering practices when developing the post-mortem. What should you do?

AFocus on developing new features rather than avoiding the outages from recurring.

BFocus on identifying the contributing causes of the incident rather than the individual responsible for the cause.

CPlan individual meetings with all the engineers involved. Determine who approved and pushed the new release to production.

DUse the Git history to find the related code commit. Prevent the engineer who made that commit from working on production services.

I recall that we should avoid punitive measures in post-mortems. Option D seems counterproductive, but I’m not entirely sure if that’s the right takeaway.

This question reminds me of a similar practice one we did about post-mortems. I think identifying contributing factors is crucial, so I would lean towards option B.

I'm a bit unsure about the best approach here. I feel like we should definitely avoid pointing fingers, but I also wonder if we need to hold someone accountable.

I remember we discussed the importance of focusing on the causes of incidents rather than blaming individuals. I think option B aligns with that principle.

Okay, I remember learning about ISO 14001 in one of my classes. I think it has to do with environmental management standards, but I'll review the question to refresh my memory.

The key here is to prevent access to the underlying data while still allowing export of the summarized visualizations. I'll need to explore the options carefully to find the best solution.

I'm not really sure about this one. I remember studying about encryption but can't recall its relation to blockchain visibility specifically.
