For retail organizations, peak traffic can be a mixed blessing. For organizations running their own on-premises infrastructure, these costs can be prohibitive. Instead, to speed up response times, applications are now processing most data at the network’s perimeter, closest to the data’s origin.

For the purpose of this series, we’re talking about digital user journeys, which flow through software and infrastructure rather than through people in the field or at service desks. Indeed, there was a time when applications were vertical stacks of software atop networks and servers wholly owned by the company.

Retail banking serves largely a utilitarian purpose in an economy. While they're still not robust enough for every business, we're seeing advances in things like networking and encryption technology that provide a greater level of accessibility and assurance. Not all infrastructure is utility, and not all app dev is value add.

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?
