What this diagram shows

SLOs and error budgets drive release decisions
On-call is designed to be sustainable
Automation reduces repetitive manual work

Prompt used

Mind map of SRE practices: service levels (SLIs, SLOs, error budgets), monitoring (golden signals, alerting on symptoms, dashboards), incident management (on-call rotation, runbooks, postmortems), release engineering (canary, feature flags, rollback), capacity planning (load tests, forecasting) and toil reduction (automation, self-service).
