We play a critical role in defining the authoritative signal for workload tenant health and performance, ensuring workloads operate within their declared SLAs. This serves as the key contract between product and platform: while the platform has the freedom to implement infrastructural changes, it must always honor the SLA requirements. Our work results in a unified repair engine that spans all layers of the stack, including physical networking.
