As an enterprise architect at Padre Inc., which runs its cloud operations on AWS, it’s up to you to manage multi-cloud operations for Tiddler Inc., a startup using Google Cloud that Padre has acquired for its SaaS project. Your task is to implement error budgeting to achieve a predefined service-level objective (SLO) and balance the deployment of new features with the reliability of the services in production. Using tools including Elasticsearch, Kibana, and Logstash, you’ll create an error budget policy and you’ll calculate burn rate, which indicates how quickly the budget is expended. You’ll use Kibana to implement a dashboard that uses burn rate data when creating the alerts product owners rely on for ensuring that service reliability meets service-level agreements (SLAs) when releasing new features. When you’re finished, you’ll have hands-on experience with valuable site reliability engineering (SRE) skills and concepts that you can apply to real-world projects.
