Peter Hunter

Head of SRE and Security Cambridge University Press & Assessment

CONFERENCE DAY ONE

2:30 PM PRESENTATION: “Everybody Wears SOCS” – A Framework for SRE, Observability & Security

What does true product readiness look like in today’s complex, regulated, always-on environments?

In this session, Peter Hunter introduce an SRE framework that Cambridge University Press &

Assessment have built, “SOCS” (Sustainability, Observability, Conformance, and Security), as a

practical model for defining and delivering reliable, secure, and cost-effective platforms at scale.

Explore how SOCS is helping redefine the role of SRE and where it fits across the org.

  • Sustainability as a first-class concern – cost, energy, and scale.
  • Embedding observability into product teams through clear ownership.
  • Conformance: balancing speed with compliance and governance.
  • A reusable framework for SRE that aligns with modern platform demands.
  • Applying SOCS to shift how you define product readiness.
