I think a big part of why I'm drawn to the SREish end of the software spectrum is how it allows (and, sometimes, compels) one to take the panels off devices and expose some of their thingishness. (In the cloud computing context I'm being metaphorical, but I've bled on servers back in the day, and threatened them with a screwdriver.)
"I put logs in here, they're supposed to come out _there_, but my logs aren't coming out!"
*gentle sigh* "Ah, you have angered the great and terrible daemon Fluent-Bit, and in its wrath it has banished your logged field to the realm of shadow. Here, please follow this schema."
What a lovely post.
