Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) using DevOps highly relies on automation to facilitate rapid testing and release schedules, with observability being key to balancing the needs of developers and operations teams. The open-source project Keptn, developed by Dynatrace, serves as a control plane that automates cloud-native continuous delivery and operations by configuring observability tools, dashboards, and alerts based on service-level objectives (SLOs). By reducing the complexity associated with traditional scripting and allowing the integration of preferred tools, Keptn streamlines the orchestration of multi-stage application delivery and enables developers to focus on SREs. Its adoption is growing among companies for its ability to automate production releases and validation processes, ensuring that applications meet high availability standards like "the five nines." Keptn uses a declarative approach to define automation sequences, retains tool configurations under version control, and provides SLO-based release validation, making it a valuable asset for developers who want to maintain production sequences without extensive manual customization. Additionally, Dynatrace offers an enterprise version through its cloud SaaS, which includes features like self-management and automatic upgrades, and Keptn's future roadmap includes improvements in high availability, role-based access controls, and GitOps.
