Kubernetes OTel SLO Templates

Turn Kubernetes health signals into error-budget decisions. Use these OTel SLO templates when alerts show something broke, but you need to know which workload is burning reliability budget and how urgent the response should be.

Kubernetes alerts tell you what is broken right now; SLOs tell you how much reliability budget the incident is consuming. This package helps SRE and platform teams move from replica-count symptoms to workload-level error-budget tracking using the same OpenTelemetry metrics they already collect with Elastic’s Kubernetes OpenTelemetry Assets integration.

What is included

  • Deployment Replica Availability 99.5% rolling 30-day SLO template.
  • StatefulSet Replica Availability 99.5% rolling 30-day SLO template.
  • DaemonSet Scheduling Availability 99.0% rolling 30-day SLO template.
  • Job Completion Success Rate 99.0% rolling 30-day SLO template.
  • Package manifest, changelog, and Elastic License 2.0 file.

Who it helps

Use this package when Deployment, StatefulSet, DaemonSet, or Job failures need more context than a single alert can provide. The templates help teams see whether a rollout, node-level agent gap, or failed batch job is a small transient issue or a meaningful burn against the monthly reliability target. This makes the package useful for on-call triage, reliability reviews, incident follow-up, and prioritizing fixes across many Kubernetes workloads.

Compatibility

The current kubernetes_otel package manifest declares Kibana ^9.4.0 and basic subscription. The Labs article refers to kubernetes_otel 2.3.0; the current source package is newer.
