Welcome back to another episode of Modern Digital Business! In today's episode, we delve deeper into the world of modern operations with our special guest, Beth Long. We explore the essential role of service level agreements (SLAs) in managing complex, multi-service modern applications.

As we unravel the differences between DevOps and SREs (Site Reliability Engineers), Beth sheds light on the origins and practices behind these two distinct approaches. We also discuss the significance of SLIs (Service Level Indicators), SLOs (Service Level Objectives), and SLAs in ensuring the stability and reliability of large-scale web operations.

Join us as we navigate the complexities of modern operations and gain valuable insights and recommendations from Beth, a seasoned SRE engineer and Operations manager. Stay tuned for an enlightening conversation on SLAs in our quest to modernize your applications and thrive in the digital business revolution. Let's dive in!
