For retail organizations, peak traffic can be a mixed blessing. The nirvana state of system uptime at peak loads is known as “five-nines availability.” In its pursuit, IT teams hover over system performance dashboards hoping their preparations will deliver five nines—or even four nines—availability. Downtime per year.

Control loop SLOs express the active management actions a provider will take, e.g. shedding of low-priority load will occur on over-utilised network links. As a simple example, an SLO around network throughput might rely on the customer running software capable of driving the network fast enough. Why are SLOs so hard to define?
