Episode 186: SLOs, SLIs, SLAs, and SRE, or, Finding “The Business”

Software Defined Talk

SLOs, SLIs, SLAs, and SRE, or, Finding “The Business”

How do SLOs really work, and how do you find "the business"? The three of us couldn't get together this week, so we have an interview this week with Google's Nathen Harvey about SRE. We also talk about European egg hygiene.
