Lyle and Jon wanted to bring *The Art of SLOs* workshop to Code & Supply with their experience as leaders in operations teams. Their combined education, healthcare, and industry experience is compounded by the existing context given by the freely available Art of SLOs workshop content from Google.

***N.b. this is a paid event and covers two nights back-to-back. You must RSVP to both nights! [Click here for Night 1](https://www.meetup.com/Pittsburgh-Code-Supply/events/286078725). See below for details.***

**What is this workshop? What are SLOs?**

The Art of SLOs is a workshop developed by Google's Customer Reliability Engineering team. The goal of the workshop is to introduce participants to the way Google measures service reliability — in terms of Service Level Indicators (SLIs) and Service Level Objectives (SLOs) — and give them some hands-on experience with creating these measures in order to adapt the tools for their own unique needs.

This workshop will be broken down into:

* First day: Lectures
* Second day: Practical Exercise (groups of \~5)

Make sure to let us know during signup or the first day if you want to be in a group with friend(s)!

**Target Audience**

The workshop content is relatively technical and primarily aimed at development and operations engineers and their immediate management. However, you'll have the best results if you can include technically-minded product people and business leaders as well.
