So how do development and operations (DevOps) teams and site reliability engineers (SREs) distinguish among good, great, and suboptimal SLOs? Monitors signals The first attribute of a good SLO is the ability to monitor the four “golden signals”: latency, traffic, error rates, and resource saturation.

A service-level objective ( SLO ) is the new contract between business, DevOps, and site reliability engineers (SREs). Organizations have multiple stakeholders and almost always have different teams that set up monitoring, operate systems, and develop new functionality. The monitoring team set up the dashboard, so who owns violations?

In case of a spike in traffic, you can automatically spin up more resources, often in a matter of seconds. Likewise, you can scale down when your application experiences decreased traffic. For example, as traffic increases, costs will too. This can dramatically decrease network latency and its effect on the end-user experience.

An IDS/IPS monitors network flows and matches incoming packets (or more strictly, Protocol Data Units, PDUs) against a set of rules. When used in prevention mode (IPS), this all has to happen inline over incoming traffic to block any traffic with suspicious signatures. This makes the whole system latency sensitive.
