F33 Adopts Open Source Service Level Objective Development Lifecycle (SLODLC) to Deliver Cloud Reliability and Migration Services

Google Cloud Premier Partner, F33, uses open source methodology to ensure successful cloud migrations, vastly improving reliability and velocity of software delivery using SLOs

SAN DIEGO–(BUSINESS WIRE)–F33, a SLODLC contributor, today announced they are adopting the Service Level Objective Development Lifecycle (SLODLC) as part of their core practice to accelerate cloud migration and cloud growth with improved reliability and software delivery.

SLODLC provides a community-driven repeatable methodology for creating metrics that move the business forward. Introduced in May 2022, the SLODLC community is quickly moving to become the standard adoption methodology for Service Level Objectives (SLOs) and their scalable deployment.

Along with F33, SLODLC members include leading companies with early contributors, including Accenture, Cognizant, Etsy, Ford Motor Company, Furo, IAG, Oracle, OutSystems, Trusted Shops, and Virtusa.

“As a Premier Google Cloud Partner, we’re big fans of Service Level Objectives which they pioneered, and as a customer of Nobl9, we have become even more convinced,” said Greg Bigos, founder and CEO of F33. “The SLODLC is a powerful community-driven methodology for enterprises to accelerate their SLO journey for their cloud environments, user-facing applications, MLOps, and internal engineering platforms. Our initial rollout will focus on the retail sector where we’re developing a reference environment focusing on inventory management. We continue to work with SLODLC founding members to engage and expand the community—we’re very proud to be part of it.”

Most companies have a wide array of observability and monitoring tools. They commonly provide visibility into IT operations, but that data now also provides information directly into the business needs for security, compliance, AI/ML, and other uses. However, even with the large number of monitoring and observability solutions deployed, and according to a recent survey, less than half of companies have visibility into all their IT environments, hybrid-cloud use is compounding the issue. Given the swift adoption of containers and microservices, the survey found that just 45% and 35% have visibility into those systems, respectively.

Benefits of SLODLC:

  • SLOs are being widely adopted and more than 8 out of 10 companies are planning to increase their use for a repeatable process using tools like Nobl9.
  • SLODLC was created to offer practical, useful, actionable, step-by-step materials, templates, and examples to aid organizations in their journey to adopt SLOs.
  • SLOs help companies better quantify user expectations, deliver technology services efficiently, and better manage the inherent tradeoffs in building a digital business.

“F33 is a pioneer in the SLO community and a proven leader in providing successful outcomes for cloud reliability, application migration, Kubernetes, and machine learning,” said Kit Merker, founder of SLODLC and COO of Nobl9. “Incorporating SLODLC into their core services practice speaks to the framework’s maturity and the community’s significant contributions to make this happen. We look forward to the continued partnership and contributions made by F33.”
