The last post ended with an alert that pages me. That’s only useful if I know what to do when it goes off, and if the team learns something once it’s over. Those are two different documents, read at two different times: a runbook and a postmortem.

Last time I wrote down what an SLI, an SLO, and an error budget are. An SLO doesn’t do anything on its own, though. Something has to watch the budget and tell you when you’re burning through it too fast. That’s a burn-rate alert, and the part that took me the longest to get was where the time window comes in.

I’ve been working through Google’s SRE book and its companion, the SRE Workbook, and the first thing they make you do is get three terms straight: SLI, SLO, and error budget. I kept mixing them up. I’m keeping a notebook of diagrams on paper for myself, but I figured the short version belongs here too, with numbers from stuff I actually run at home.

I came into Revan with high expectations. The guy is considered one of the greatest Jedi who ever lived — someone who went so deep into the dark side that he became a Sith Lord, then clawed his way back. I wanted a violent, powerful, morally complex story about the greatest fallen Jedi in the history of the galaxy. What I got was something different, and I am still not sure how I feel about it.

I started reading Star Wars Legends from the very beginning of the timeline, and this is where it all starts — roughly 25,000 years before Luke Skywalker ever picked up a lightsaber. I came into this book knowing the movies, The Mandalorian, and the newer shows, and had no idea what to expect from a Star Wars story set this far back.
