Module Reference
Evidence checklist: complete system version, API contract, load test, tail latency, capacity, unit cost, telemetry, quality and safety signals, SLOs, release gates, abort, rollback, fallback, runbook, incident record, retirement and deletion proof.
Required evidence
Submit reproducible deployment configuration, correlated telemetry, load and failure results, user-impact and unit-cost calculations, one rejected alternative, and the executed response. A dashboard screenshot without raw query and version context does not pass.
Oral defense
Trace one request across boundaries, explain a tail-latency or quality regression, demonstrate containment and rollback, and defend the residual operational risk.
Source backbone
Use Building Secure and Reliable Systems, Google SRE books, OpenTelemetry specifications, and NIST AI RMF.
