SLO Implementation Framework FAQs

Question 1

What monitoring tools are supported?

Accepted Answer

The skill provides specific implementation patterns and recording rules for Prometheus and visualization structures for Grafana, though the core SLO logic can be adapted to other observability platforms.

Question 2

Can I use this for services that aren't HTTP-based?

Accepted Answer

Yes. While many examples use HTTP metrics, the framework includes patterns for durability and success/failure ratios that apply to databases, storage systems, message queues, and background processing jobs.

Question 3

How do Error Budgets influence development?

Accepted Answer

Error Budgets provide a formal policy for prioritization: if you have budget remaining, you can maintain high innovation velocity. If the budget is exhausted, the policy typically dictates a freeze on new features to focus on reliability improvements.

Question 4

What is the difference between an SLI and an SLO?

Accepted Answer

An SLI (Indicator) is the actual quantitative measurement of a service's performance, such as latency or error rate. An SLO (Objective) is the target value or range for that measurement that defines what acceptable reliability looks like for the business.

Question 5

How does this skill help with alerting noise?

Accepted Answer

The skill implements multi-window burn rate alerts. This advanced SRE technique requires both short-term and long-term error budget consumption thresholds to be met before firing, significantly reducing false positives compared to simple threshold alerts.
