However, there is a growing trend of SLOs now being applied more broadly to other areas and in more innovative ways. It’s also becoming clear that traditional models of monitoring can fall short with typing in the business value to the backend. The dashboards which are created can be brittle, requiring a lot of maintenance and it can be difficult to bring in the key people. SLOs try to align SLIs (service-level indicators) with tangible business metrics or values, helping organizations identify the SLIs that contribute to the SLO and giving you an error budget to make changes or improve your software. In this episode of TFiR Let’s Talk, Swapnil Bhartiya sits down with Austin Parker, Head of Developer Relations at Lightstep, to discuss what exactly SLOs are and why they are a better approach for organizations compared to traditional monitoring practices. He shares his views on the challenges organizations face with SLOs as well as the business value they can bring. #Sloconf #lighstep #kubernetes #cloudnative
