<ul>
<li style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Own end-to-end reliability for business-critical services — SLOs, error budgets, capacity planning, DR, and incident command — with a five-nines mindset appropriate to financial services workloads.</span></li>
