Sure, you want the simplest solution.
But reliability engineering involves adding complexity for the sake of resilience to failure (see: RAID)
Asking for the simple solution to Just Be Better is naive. Adding capabilities that provide flexibility is the way.
Embrace change.

"I drew the duck blue because I've never seen a blue duck before, and to be honest with you, I wanted to see a blue duck."
Check it out! 🚨 SLOs simple to understand but strangely hard to get right and to effectively use over time.
Nobl9 has a lot of cool tools like this new slogpt.ai to help out, and they can help you figure out what your SLOs might be.
I like seeing cool platforms built atop cool platforms.
@nobl9inc is doing terrific work helping companies manage with SLOs, and they built some powerful AI-based tooling atop @googlecloud Vertex AI.

"This guide describes six deployment archetypes—zonal, regional, multi-regional, global, hybrid, and multicloud, and presents use cases and design considerations for each deployment archetype." cloud.google.com/architectur… < so good! From Kumar, @kniga, and others.
Interested in building a reliable system on the Cloud? Here are some archetypes you can base you architectures and product choices on.
Your app can be deployed many ways! Don't forget to take advantage of the failure domains that Cloud provides.

Did you read the books about SRE (sre.google/books/) and still have questions about what this looks like in real life?
In season 2 of the SRE Prodcast (correct spelling), hear from SREs about their jobs and career paths: sre.google/prodcast/
Hey wait, reliability-discuss is TOMORROW !!
