Restart SaaS availability weekly review
Why is this change being made?
We previously discontinued the weekly Engineering Allocation sync meeting. With the increased incidents it is clear that we need to bring this back with the focus on SaaS Availability.
We no longer have teams under Engineering Allocations, however a weekly coordination of preventive actions is needed for to maintain high availability and cross functional work between Development, Infrastructure & Quality.
This rolls forward the changes from !120433 (merged) and provides the appropriate oversight for:
- High severity incidents
- Error budgets
- Corrective action issues
- Infradev issues
