You are on-call for an infrastructure service that has a large number of dependent systems. You receive an alert indicating that the service is failing to serve most of its requests and all of its dependent systems with hundreds of thousands of users are affected. As part of your Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) incident management protocol, you declare yourself Incident Commander (IC) and pull in two experienced people from your team as Operations Lead (OL) and
Communications Lead (CL). What should you do next?

  • A. Look for ways to mitigate user impact and deploy the mitigations to production.
  • B. Contact the affected service owners and update them on the status of the incident.
  • C. Establish a communication channel where incident responders and leads can communicate with each other.
  • D. Start a postmortem, add incident information, circulate the draft internally, and ask internal stakeholders for input.

Ans: C Prepare Beforehand In addition to incident response training, it helps to prepare for an incident beforehand. Use the following tips and strategies to be better prepared. Decide on a communication channel Decide and agree on a communication channel (Slack, a phone bridge, IRC, HipChat, etc.) beforehand. Keep your audience informed Unless you acknowledge that an incident is happening and actively being addressed, people will automatically assume nothing is being done to resolve the issue. Similarly, if you forget to call off the response once the issue has been mitigated or resolved, people will assume the incident is ongoing. You can preempt this dynamic by keeping your audience informed throughout the incident with regular status updates. Having a prepared list of contacts (see the next tip) saves valuable time and ensures you don’t miss anyone. https://sre.google/workbook/incident-response/

Selected Answer: C
Answer is C. When an incident occurs and you are on-call, it is important to act quickly and efficiently to minimize user impact. One of the first steps in incident management is to establish clear and efficient communication among the incident responders and leads. The incident commander (IC) should establish a communication channel, such as a conference call or chat room, where incident responders and leads can communicate with each other and update each other on the status of the incident and any mitigation efforts. This is essential for ensuring that all incident responders are aware of the current status and can coordinate their efforts effectively. Option A, Look for ways to mitigate user impact and deploy the mitigations to production, is also an important step but should be done in parallel with establishing a communication channel. Option B, Contact the affected service owners and update them on the status of the incident is also important but should be done during the incident management process. Option D, Start a postmortem, is important and should be done later once the incident is resolved.

Answer is C. About Option B, it should be done by the Communications Lead. The statement doesn't say the Communications Lead was the same person than the Incident Commander, what it could be in another situation.

In this case there are 3 different peoples. The mitigation is for the OL. The IC must coordinate and setup a living Incident State Document which is the the communication channel for the operational group
