This blog post explains how automating SLO management can improve efficiency, accuracy, and reliability of your services. It contrasts manual SLO management (prone to errors and time-consuming) with the benefits of automation (real-time insights, better decision-making).

The key takeaways are:

SLOs (Service Level Objectives) define what performance you expect from your service.

SLIs (Service Level Indicators) are metrics used to measure how well your service meets those SLOs.

Manually managing SLOs is inefficient and error-prone.

Automating SLO management offers many benefits including faster issue resolution, improved collaboration, and cost savings.

The blog mentions Squadcast as a tool that can help automate SLO management.
