How the exam adds up

Each bar starts where the last one ends, so the right edge is the whole exam. Weights are approximate.

Cloud DevOps › Concepts

Technical Concepts Explained

The biggest domain is site reliability engineering (SRE), so start with its vocabulary:

SLI (indicator)A measurement of service health, such as the share of requests that succeed.
SLO (objective)The target for an SLI, for example 99.9% of requests succeed.
SLA (agreement)A promise to customers with consequences if it is broken.
Error budgetThe unreliability you can afford. Spend it on releases, and slow down when it runs out.
ToilManual, repetitive work that grows with the service. Automate it.
Blameless postmortemA review that finds causes and fixes without blaming people.

What an SLO really allows, per 30 days

99%about 7.2 hours
99.9%about 43 minutes
99.99%about 4.3 minutes

Bar lengths are to scale. Each extra nine cuts your error budget by ten times.
