SLOs allow teams to prioritize the more impactful or important aspects of their services. Metrics that center the user experience gives teams focus and goals. Highlighting the metrics that matter most gives teams space to disable alerts that contribute nothing to overall customer happiness.
Automation gives us more hands to deal with more issues without taking time away from more interesting work. Machine Learning tools group alerts together and help add context when things are noisy and distracting.
These tools combined help teams tackle a common incident response problem - alert fatigue. Full Service Ownership teams looking to improve the quality of their services can experiment with their SLIs and SLOs to find the work that will benefit their systems the most while also preserving their own sanity.
