[Applying Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) principles to a service]

You are leading a DevOps project for your organization. The DevOps team is responsible for managing the service infrastructure and being on-call for incidents. The Software Development team is responsible for writing, submitting, and reviewing code. Neither team has any published SLOs. You want to design a new joint-ownership model for a service between the DevOps team and the Software Development team. Which responsibilities should be assigned to each team in the new joint-ownership model?

Wait, why are the developers not publishing SLOs? That seems off.

I practiced a similar question where the focus was on SLOs. I think the Software Development team should definitely be responsible for publishing them, which makes me lean towards option A.

I feel like option D makes sense since it emphasizes shared responsibilities, but I can't recall if the DevOps team should really be on-call for incidents.

I'm not sure about the code review part. I thought the DevOps team was mainly focused on infrastructure, but maybe they should be involved in reviews too?

I remember we discussed how important it is for both teams to share responsibilities, especially with SLOs. I think option C might be the best fit.

I feel pretty confident about this question. The key is to assign the right responsibilities to each team based on their expertise and ensure they're working together effectively. I'll carefully consider the options and select the one that seems most aligned with SRE principles.

Hmm, this is a tricky one. I need to think about how to balance the responsibilities and ensure clear accountability between the two teams. I'll need to weigh the pros and cons of each option to determine the best approach.

Okay, I think I've got this. The key is to establish a joint-ownership model where the responsibilities are clearly defined and aligned between the DevOps and Software Development teams. I'll focus on the specific tasks assigned to each team and how they work together.
