[Applying Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) principles to a service]
You support a multi-region web service running on Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) behind a Global
HTTP'S Cloud Load Balancer (CLB). For legacy reasons, user requests first go through a third-party
Content Delivery Network (CDN). which then routes traffic to the CLB. You have already
implemented an availability Service Level Indicator (SLI) at the CLB level. However, you want to
increase coverage in case of a potential load balancer misconfiguration. CDN failure, or other global
networking catastrophe. Where should you measure this new SLI?
