GCP Cloud Digital Leader Practice Question

An error budget represents the allowable amount of unreliability-measured against the service-level objective (SLO)-that a service can experience in a given time period. By comparing the current error budget burn to deployments planned, teams can decide whether it is safe to push new releases or whether they must focus on reliability work instead. The practice gives product and operations staff a shared, quantitative limit that balances feature velocity with the reliability promised to users. Capacity planning, cost control, and backup frequency are important operational tasks, but they are not the intent of an error budget.
