I recall a similar question where we had to balance feature development with service reliability. Option D seems risky if we don't keep our availability in check.

Automating repetitive tasks sounds familiar. I feel like option B aligns with what we practiced about reducing toil and improving efficiency.

I'm not entirely sure about the N+1 redundancy approach. I think it might add costs without necessarily improving our availability that much.

I remember we discussed the importance of error budgets in our last study session. It seems like option C could really help manage our availability goals.
