Since joining my current team, Im mostly working on setting up monitoring on clusters, creating/optimizing alerts and dashboards as well as automation around that. Since we have loads of different microservices with different monitoring approaches it’s become my daily job with occasional oncall duties.
I am taking on different tasks as well, like FinOps, AI integration for self healing, etc. but the sheer ammount of work with monitoring part makes me less productive in those other projects.

Was wondering how this looks like for others, is it normal to have SREs spending most of the time entangled in monitoring work?

Anyone already received ESP comms? What % did you get if so?
