Many people, when asked about SLA, simply shout 99%. The correct
answer to that question is probably a long, boring PDF, written by
lawyers. Yes, SLA is a legal obligation. Not a metric or a number. You

#88: SLI, SLO and SLA: a number, a threshold and a legal document respectively

Podcast for developers, testers, SREs... and their managers. I explain complex and convoluted technologies in a clear way, avoiding buzzwords and hype. Never longer than 4 minutes and 16 seconds. Because software development does not require hours of lectures, dev advocates' slide decks and hand waving. For those of you, who want to combat FOMO, while brushing your teeth. 256 seconds is plenty of time. If I can't explain something within this time frame, it's either too complex, or I don't understand it myself.
