Your Site Reliability Engineering team does toil work to achieve unused data in tables within your application’s relational database. This toil is required to ensure that your application has a low latency Service Level Indicator (SLI) to meet your Service Level Objective (SLO). Toil is preventing your team from focusing on a high-priority engineering project that will improve the availability SLI of your application. You want to reduce repetitive tasks to avoid burnout, improve organizational efficiency, and follow the Site Reliability Engineering recommended practices. What should you do?
A. Identify repetitive tasks that contribute to toil and onboard additional team members for support.
B. Identify repetitive tasks that contribute to toil and automate them.
C. Change the SLO of your Latency SLI to accommodate toil being done less often. Use this capacity to work on the Availability SLI engineering project.
D. Assign the Availability SLI engineering project to the Software Engineering team.
