The impact of failure is much less outside working hours. How can we commit to a SLO and 🔴set alerting on it without having to wake up in the middle of the night?</p></blockquote><p>This is where you can see that service levels concepts come from an international company with consumers around the globe in all time zones! 😄</p><p>There are multiple ways to account for that requirement in your service levels and alerting:</p><ul><li><p><a href="https://blog.alexewerlof.com/p/valid-vs-total">Valid</a><span>: you can specifically say that the valid events are the ones that happen during working hours. But this means that you are completely blind outside working hours as any error won’t affect your SLO or alerting. What if your users must work a few extra days to meet a deadline? That’s exactly when you don’t want the system to fail and block them, right?</span></p></li><li><p>Solve it with incident priority model: if the goal is to relax the alerting rules, you can factor in the incident time in your incident prioritization criteria to prevent paging the on-call person. For example, you may say that an incident that happens outside working hours has a lower priority and its priority will only bump when the working hours start. The downside is this setup may be complex to implement.</p></li><li><p>Turn off alerting outside working hours: this is an easy solution to prevent alerting when the team should not be responsible for failure. The alerts can be triggered only during working hours to prevent paging people outside working hours.</p></li></ul><h2 class="header-anchor-post">Map to users/developers needs<div class="pencraft pc-display-flex pc-alignItems-center pc-position-absolute pc-reset header-anchor-parent"><div class="pencraft pc-display-contents pc-reset pubTheme-yiXxQA"><div id="§map-to-usersdevelopers-needs" class="pencraft pc-reset header-anchor offset-top"></div><button tabindex="0" type="button" aria-label="Link" data-href="https://blog.alexewerlof.com/i/139697932/map-to-usersdevelopers-needs" class="pencraft pc-reset pencraft iconButton-mq_Et5 iconButtonBase-dJGHgN buttonBase-GK1x3M buttonStyle-r7yGCK size_sm-G3LciD priority_secondary-S63h9o"><svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" width="18" height="18" viewBox="0 0 24 24" fill="none" stroke="currentColor" stroke-width="2" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round" class="lucide lucide-link"><path d="M10 13a5 5 0 0 0 7.54.54l3-3a5 5 0 0 0-7.07-7.07l-1.72 1.71"></path><path d="M14 11a5 5 0 0 0-7.54-.54l-3 3a5 5 0 0 0 7.07 7.07l1.71-1.71"></path></svg></button></div></div></h2><p>One of the main principles behind service levels is that they should map to how reliability is perceived from the perspective of the service consumers.</p><p>For an end-user facing product, you may ask:</p><blockquote><p>What’s the worst amount of unreliability that the service consumers can put up with before leaving us?</p></blockquote><p>This sets the error budget. You don’t want gut-generated numbers. Ask the UX researchers or the business stakeholders to back up their numbers and anchor their argument why a certain threshold defines the error budget.</p><p>For example, if the consumers are billed at the end of every calendar month (e.g., utility billing services), you may choose a calendar-bound window.</p><p>On the other hand, if the consumers are billed for any period (e.g., monthly subscriptions that can start any day of the month depending on when the user created their account), you may choose a rolling window.</p><p>The length is a month in both cases.</p><h1 class="header-anchor-post">Common compliance periods<div class="pencraft pc-display-flex pc-alignItems-center pc-position-absolute pc-reset header-anchor-parent"><div class="pencraft pc-display-contents pc-reset pubTheme-yiXxQA"><div id="§common-compliance-periods" class="pencraft pc-reset header-anchor offset-top"></div><button tabindex="0" type="button" aria-label="Link" data-href="https://blog.alexewerlof.com/i/139697932/common-compliance-periods" class="pencraft pc-reset pencraft iconButton-mq_Et5 iconButtonBase-dJGHgN buttonBase-GK1x3M buttonStyle-r7yGCK size_sm-G3LciD priority_secondary-S63h9o"><svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" width="18" height="18" viewBox="0 0 24 24" fill="none" stroke="currentColor" stroke-width="2" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round" class="lucide lucide-link"><path d="M10 13a5 5 0 0 0 7.54.54l3-3a5 5 0 0 0-7.07-7.07l-1.72 1.71"></path><path d="M14 11a5 5 0 0 0-7.54-.54l-3 3a5 5 0 0 0 7.07 7.07l1.71-1.71"></path></svg></button></div></div></h1><p>Should map to how the users perceive (or are billed).</p><ol><li><p><strong>30-days rolling:</strong><span> This SLO updates every day and adjusts as the error budget consumption quota is earned on a daily basis.</span></p></li><li><p>Calendar month: This SLO gets a fresh error budget for every calendar month (e.g. January)</p></li><li><p><strong>2-Weeks Calendar-bound:</strong><span> Aligns well with the typical duration of a sprint in traditional “agile” workflows.

It can be used for brown-field products that are in maintenance mode and not much new development (change) is expected.</span></p></li></ol><h1 class="header-anchor-post">Conclusion<div class="pencraft pc-display-flex pc-alignItems-center pc-position-absolute pc-reset header-anchor-parent"><div class="pencraft pc-display-contents pc-reset pubTheme-yiXxQA"><div id="§conclusion" class="pencraft pc-reset header-anchor offset-top"></div><button tabindex="0" type="button" aria-label="Link" data-href="https://blog.alexewerlof.com/i/139697932/conclusion" class="pencraft pc-reset pencraft iconButton-mq_Et5 iconButtonBase-dJGHgN buttonBase-GK1x3M buttonStyle-r7yGCK size_sm-G3LciD priority_secondary-S63h9o"><svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" width="18" height="18" viewBox="0 0 24 24" fill="none" stroke="currentColor" stroke-width="2" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round" class="lucide lucide-link"><path d="M10 13a5 5 0 0 0 7.54.54l3-3a5 5 0 0 0-7.07-7.07l-1.72 1.71"></path><path d="M14 11a5 5 0 0 0-7.54-.54l-3 3a5 5 0 0 0 7.07 7.07l1.71-1.71"></path></svg></button></div></div></h1><p>The length and type of the compliance period should be set based on the nature of the service and the business's needs.</p><p>The chosen compliance window should align with the frequency of decision-making cycles, operational processes, and resource allocation.

forgives an incident that happened before that (e.g. 20 days ago) regardless of its impact:</p><div class=\\\"captioned-image-container\\\"><figure><a class=\\\"image-link image2 is-viewable-img\\\"

Therefore, the SLO that is tied to the SLA follows the payment model of the customer.</p><p>For example, if the customer is charged monthly, the SLA may guarantee that if the <a href=\\\"https://blog.alexewerlof.com/p/sls\\\">SLS</a> drops below <a href=\\\"https://blog.alexewerlof.com/p/slo\\\">SLO</a>, the service owner may compensate the consumer by paying back part of the bill during the calendar month where the incident happened.</p><p>As another example, if the client\u2019s billing period may start at any time during the month (e.g. a subscription service like Netflix or Spotify), the compliance window for the <a href=\\\"https://blog.alexewerlof.com/p/slo\\\">SLO</a> that ties to the consumer facing <a href=\\\"https://blog.alexewerlof.com/p/sla\\\">SLA</a>, may be concerned with the last 30 days.</p><h2>Incident length</h2><p>For the same SLO value (e.g., 99%), the longer the window, the more error budget can be burned in one go.</p><p>For example, an uptime SLO of 99.5% allows:</p><ul><li><p>Less than 4 hours of downtime for a compliance period of 1 month</p></li><li><p>More than 10 hours of downtime for a compliance period of 1 quarter</p></li></ul><p>Reminder: the team is entitled to consume their entire error budget because the system is performing within its accepted risk thresholds.</p><p>There is nothing in the formula of SLO that dictates whether the team should consume their error budget in multiple smaller chunks or at once.</p><p>In the worst-case scenario, the service will be down for 10 hours. Is this downtime acceptable? It depends on the system and its consumers.</p><p>Again, if you are writing an <a href=\\\"https://blog.alexewerlof.com/p/sla\\\">SLA</a>, you can use this property to your advantage: longer windows allow for longer incidents.</p><p>It might be tempting to set the compliance period to a quarter (90 days) but beware that a single large incident that consumes the error budget at the start of the quarter, hinders the team from further development because the number of enemy of reliability is change.</p><p>However, there\u2019s a trick that solves this problem and it comes handy when setting SLOs internally.</p><h2>Time between failures</h2><p>You may have heard MTBF (Mean Time Between Failures). In simple words, it\u2019s the average continuous uptime between failures.</p><p>Since compliance period is one of the parameters of SLO, we can actually use it to control how long each failure takes. In <a href=\\\"https://blog.alexewerlof.com/i/139014450/example-window\\\">multi-tiered SLOs</a>, we showed this with an example.</p><p>Here\u2019s how it works: Let\u2019s say your indicator is <em>success rate</em> and your objective is 99%. You can define the same SLO for two different windows:</p><ul><li><p>99% of all the requests in the past 7 days should be successful</p></li><li><p>99% of all the requests in the past 30 days should be successful</p></li></ul><p>You can see that the shorter period forces a more even distribution of errors across multiple windows:</p><div class=\\\"captioned-image-container\\\"><figure><a

for that week will be breached. But the other weeks have better performance, the mostly SLO and most of the weekly SLOs won\u2019t be breached.</p><h2>Night shift/day shift</h2><p>One of the most common questions I get about service levels goes like this:</p><blockquote><p>Our service is only consumed during working hours in a specific time zone. The impact of failure is much less outside working hours. How can we commit to a SLO and \uD83D\uDD34set alerting on it without having to wake up in the middle of the night?</p></blockquote><p>This is where you can see that service levels concepts come from an international company with consumers around the globe in all time zones! \uD83D\uDE04</p><p>There are multiple ways to account for that requirement in your service levels and alerting:</p><ul><li><p><a href=\\\"https://blog.alexewerlof.com/p/valid-vs-total\\\">Valid</a>: you can specifically say that the valid events are the ones that happen during working hours. But this means that you are completely blind outside working hours as any error won\u2019t affect your SLO or alerting. What if your users must work a few extra days to meet a deadline? That\u2019s exactly when you don\u2019t want the system to fail and block them, right?</p></li><li><p>Solve it with incident priority model: if the goal is to relax the alerting rules, you can factor in the incident time in your incident prioritization criteria to prevent paging the on-call person. For example, you may say that an incident that happens outside working hours has a lower priority and its priority will only bump when the working hours start. The downside is this setup may be complex to implement.</p></li><li><p>Turn off alerting outside working hours: this is an easy solution to prevent alerting when the team should not be responsible for failure. The alerts can be triggered only during working hours to prevent paging people outside working hours.</p></li></ul><h2>Map to users/developers needs</h2><p>One of the main principles behind service levels is that they should map to how reliability is perceived from the perspective of the service consumers.</p><p>For an end-user facing product, you may ask:</p><blockquote><p>What\u2019s the worst amount of unreliability that the service consumers can put up with before leaving us?</p></blockquote><p>This sets the error budget. You don\u2019t want gut-generated numbers. Ask the UX researchers or the business stakeholders to back up their numbers and anchor their argument why a certain threshold defines the error budget.</p><p>For example, if the consumers are billed at the end of every calendar month (e.g., utility billing services), you may choose a calendar-bound window.</p><p>On the other hand, if the consumers are billed for any period (e.g., monthly subscriptions that can start any day of the month depending on when the user created their account), you may choose a rolling window.</p><p>The length is a month in both cases.</p><h1>Common compliance periods</h1><p>Should map to how the users perceive (or are billed).</p><ol><li><p><strong>30-days rolling:</strong> This SLO updates every day and adjusts as the error budget consumption quota is earned on a daily basis.</p></li><li><p>Calendar month: This SLO gets a fresh error budget for every calendar month (e.g. January)</p></li><li><p><strong>2-Weeks Calendar-bound:</strong> Aligns well with the typical duration of a sprint in traditional \u201Cagile\u201D workflows. An incident that happened during the last sprint will be immediately forgotten when a new sprint starts.</p></li><li><p><strong>28-days rolling:</strong> Similar to the 30-day rolling, but the compliance period always starts on the same day of the week in the past. The good thing is that each period always has the same number of weekends in them. This is useful for services which have a weekly usage seasonality.</p></li><li><p><strong>A Quarter:</strong> A quarterly compliance period is indeed less forgiving, as breaches are remembered for a longer duration. This period is suitable for services where long-term stability and performance are paramount, and where short-term fluctuations are less critical. It can align well with business quarters, aiding in strategic planning and review. It can be used for brown-field products that are in maintenance mode and not much new development (change) is expected.</p></li></ol><h1>Conclusion</h1><p>The length and type of the compliance period should be set based on the nature of the service and the business's needs.</p><p>The chosen compliance window should align with the frequency of decision-making cycles, operational processes, and resource allocation. It should allow for sufficient time to analyze data, take corrective actions, and plan optimizations.</p><p>Too short a period might not accurately represent the service's performance due to temporary fluctuations.</p><p>Too long a period, on the other hand, could delay the identification of persistent issues.</p><p>Calendar-bound windows have different error budgets during a period whereas rolling windows update frequently.</p><p>Depending if you are writing an SLO (for internal consumers) or SLA (for external consumers), you may pick an option that puts the numbers on your side.</p><p><em>This post took 6 hours to research, draft, and illustrate.
