[All Professional Cloud DevOps Engineer Questions]

You support a user-facing web application. When analyzing the application's error budget over the previous six months, you notice that the application has never consumed more than 5% of its error budget in any given time window. You hold a Service Level Objective (SLO) review with business stakeholders and confirm that the SLO is set appropriately. You want your application's SLO to more closely reflect its observed reliability. What steps can you take to further that goal while balancing velocity, reliability, and business needs? (Choose two.)

AAdd more serving capacity to all of your application's zones.

BHave more frequent or potentially risky application releases.

CTighten the SLO match the application's observed reliability.

DImplement and measure additional Service Level Indicators (SLIs) fro the application.

EAnnounce planned downtime to consume more error budget, and ensure that users are not depending on a tighter SLO.

We've consistently been under 5%, so why not adjust the SLO?

Wait, why would we announce downtime just to use up error budget?

Implementing more SLIs could give us better insights.

I disagree, we shouldn't risk reliability for a tighter SLO.

Tightening the SLO sounds like a smart move!

Announcing planned downtime seems risky, but it could be a way to consume some error budget. I’m not convinced it’s the right move, though.

I practiced a similar question where we had to balance SLOs and user needs. I feel like adding capacity might not be necessary since the error budget is underutilized.

I think implementing additional SLIs could provide more insights into the app's performance, but I wonder if it might complicate things too much.

I remember discussing how tightening the SLO could better reflect reliability, but I'm not sure if that's the best approach.

I'm a bit confused by the wording of the options. I'll have to re-read the question and answers to make sure I understand it properly.

I'm pretty confident that processing based on employee consent is the weakest option here. The power imbalance in an employment relationship makes true consent difficult.

This looks like a straightforward ONTAP configuration backup question. I'll start by thinking about the different backup options available in ONTAP 9.8.

This seems like a straightforward high availability question. I'll focus on the key requirements - automatic failover and minimizing costs.

Okay, I've got this. Provider 3 has the lowest total monthly cost, so that's clearly the most cost-effective solution for the startup's streaming needs.
