Security has shifted left in CI/CD pipelines. Traditional service monitoring moved on with metrics, logs and traces and observability embraces the unknown unknowns. Developers and SREs are instrumenting applications with metrics and distributed tracing. How do service level objectives (SLOs) add to the bigger picture?

This talk invites into a developer’s tale about ops deployment scalability, availability threshold definitions and measuring application performance. What are the benefits of app instrumentation, metrics and traces and where does the journey start?

Dev becomes Ops: SLOs need to be well understood and simulated early in the development process. New building blocks come to play: Continuous Delivery, quality gates and chaos engineering - is it possible to left shift SLOs with Chaos in your CI/CD pipelines?

Attendees join for a deep dive into failure stories in the past 10 years, and learn how SLOs and chaos engineering could have helped prevent them. Follow the ideas of Prometheus changing the approach to metrics collection, Keptn innovating with quality gates and SLOs and Litmus adding chaos to the CI/CD pipeline. What are your SLOs for shifting left with chaos?
