Service Level Objectives (SLO), Service Level Indicators (SLI) and Error Budgeting

 

• Identify different types of Service Level Indicators (SLIs) and their role in measuring system performance
• Define Service Level Objectives (SLOs) and recognize various types along with best practices for setting them effectively
• Gain proficiency in managing Error Budgets and implementing Error Budget Policies to maintain service reliability within defined thresholds
• Differentiate between SLIs, SLOs, and Error Budget Policies, and articulate their importance in ensuring system resilience
• Explore Non-functional requirements and their impact on system design and performance
• Discover the concept of observability and familiarize yourself with monitoring tools essential for maintaining system health
• Apply theoretical knowledge to practical scenarios by analyzing examples of SLIs and SLOs in real-world contexts.
• Identify key roles that contribute significantly to ensuring system reliability and understand their responsibilities in fostering a culture of reliability.
