## Health v2 (maintenance only)
Score: 32/100 (v2, computed 2026-09-02T17:46:02.011165+00:00)
- activity 0, release rhythm 35, longevity 100
- inputs: {"age_days": 1428, "days_push": 887, "days_rel": null, "gap_med": null, "n_releases_24m": 0}
- flags: no_releases
- formula: round(0.45*activity + 0.35*rhythm + 0.20*longevity); archived -> min(score, 10)

## What it is
An opinionated, community-contributed checklist covering what Site Reliability Engineering teams should consider across team practices, production readiness, and technologies like Git, cloud, and Kubernetes. It serves as a reference guide rather than a runnable tool.

## Use cases
- audit my SRE team's practices against a checklist
- prepare production readiness review for kubernetes workloads
- onboard a new SRE team member
- figure out what skills an SRE should have
- checklist for cloud infrastructure provisioning and monitoring
- evaluate CI/CD and gitops maturity

## When to choose
- you want an opinionated reference of SRE best practices to adapt
- you're building or maturing an SRE team and need topic coverage
- you want a starting point for production readiness reviews

## When to avoid
- you need executable tooling or automation scripts
- you require an authoritative, universal standard rather than one practitioner's opinion
- you need a complete, finished resource - the repo is explicitly still in progress

## Facets
- artifact type: learning-resource
- maturity: active
- function: documentation, developer-tools
- domain: self-hosted, cloud-computing, monitoring
- platform: -
- tags: sre, checklist, reliability-engineering, kubernetes, gitops, terraform, best-practices, devops, web-server
