SLO Implementation Framework FAQs

Question 1

Can I use this for non-Prometheus monitoring systems?

Accepted Answer

While the specific query examples provided are in PromQL, the framework, calculation logic, and policy templates are designed to be adaptable to any observability stack including Datadog, New Relic, or CloudWatch.

Question 2

What is the difference between SLI and SLO in this skill?

Accepted Answer

SLIs (Service Level Indicators) are the actual quantitative measurements of your service, such as request success rate. SLOs (Service Level Objectives) are the specific targets you set for those measurements, such as maintaining 99.9% availability.

Question 3

What is included in the error budget policy template?

Accepted Answer

The policy defines specific technical and business actions based on remaining budget, ranging from normal development velocity to total feature freezes when the budget is exhausted.

Question 4

How does this skill help reduce alert fatigue?

Accepted Answer

It utilizes multi-window burn rate alerts. This approach only triggers critical notifications when the error budget is being consumed at a rate that threatens the SLO, ignoring minor transient spikes that don't impact long-term reliability.
