It's not. Take any simple web app and deploy it into managed GKE with Anthos and you automatically get SLI's and the ability to define SLO's for availability and latency with a nice wizard. Takes a few minutes to setup.
The amount of engineering needed to achieve good SLO monitoring dwarfs the engineering needed to run a simple app so it just never happened. That's no longer the case.

Also obviously not true given the number of companies deriving value from kubernetes.
Note, I'm a Google Cloud partner.
- dragonsh 6y agoYour statement already support that without the blessings of engineering team of Amazon, Google, Microsoft, Digital Ocean and various managed kubernetes service it's impossible for a reasonable small team to manage and monitor k8s and all of this service comes with lock-in and additional capital outlay. Obviously for a Google Cloud Partner, more people are tied to gcp and kubernetes, higher the revenue. Its secondary if it's really necessary for an application to require k8s.
