“SLOs are a cultural shift. It is about understanding our systems from our users’ perspective, ensuring that what we build provides the quality of service our users deserve. It is about measuring and tracking what matters.”

Did you hear? Labels are now available for Nobl9 Services and SLOs!
You can now filter by labels in the #SLO Grid view and group #SLOs across services, and see the labeled SLOs in a single summarized view. 🚀

SRE is the path from emergent to repeatable to best practice. It's a result of examining a thing from a customers quality perspective and willing it to be good enough. Without the examination, or the will, it is useless.

Getting a team started with SRE and Reliability?
Here's a flywheel:
1) set SLOs
2) use a consistent incident response system
3) practice blameless postmortems and review them regularly
From all that, you get your *reliability backlog*. Adjust the burn rate according to taste.
