In the context of continuous delivery, what is the primary purpose of a feedback loop?

To collect information about the system and use it to make improvements

To ensure that all code changes are reviewed by a human

To automate the deployment of code to production

To replace the need for manual testing

A team is trying to reduce their MTTR. They have identified that the longest part of the recovery process is diagnosing the root cause. Which improvement would most directly reduce MTTR?

Scheduling a post-incident review after each incident.

Increasing the number of on-call engineers.

Implementing automated runbooks that guide the on-call engineer through common failure scenarios.

An application team defines an SLO that states the service should have an availability of 99.9% over a 30-day rolling window. What does this SLO primarily represent?

A contractual penalty that the provider must pay if the service is unavailable

A measurement of the average time taken to restore service after a failure

A legal document that defines the responsibilities of the service provider and customer

An internal target for the service's reliability that the team aims to meet

A company's application has a monthly SLO of 99.9% uptime. The application experienced a 45-minute outage on the first day of the month. The team wants to know if they can still meet the SLO for the rest of the month. Which action should the team take?

Wait until the end of the month to calculate the actual uptime percentage.

Check the SLA to see if the outage qualifies for a service credit.

Assume the SLO is missed because any outage exceeds the monthly allowance.

Calculate the total allowed downtime for the month and subtract the 45 minutes already used.

A company is negotiating a contract with a SaaS provider. The provider offers an SLA with a 99.95% uptime guarantee and a service credit of 10% of the monthly fee if the uptime falls below that. The company's application requires 99.99% uptime to meet its business needs. Which step should the company take?

Assume the provider will meet the 99.99% uptime because the SLA is a guarantee.

Use the service credit to fund additional monitoring and alerting.

Negotiate a higher SLA or architect the application to be resilient to provider outages.

Accept the SLA because the service credit provides financial compensation for any downtime.
