A paid, in-depth course by Kirk McKusick on the internals of the FreeBSD kernel, taught by one of the project's long-time developers and the author of well-known BSD systems books.

One commenter, who was pointed to it while preparing for a Google SRE interview, calls it excellent, though they note it is expensive.

    In my experience the recruiters are great about helping you prep. They have a PDF called "Google Interview Prep Guide Site Reliability Engineer" that talks about SRE-SE vs. SRE-SWE vs. SWE, and links to books and topics to study.

    Kirk McKusick's "FreeBSD Kernel Internals" course[1] was recommended to me, and it was excellent. But not cheap at $1495.
