I made it to SLA (which I believe stands for service level agreement). What do the other abbreviations stand for?

SLO - Service Level Objective - the service level you strive for. If it's higher you have room for experimentation, etc.
SLI - Service Level Indicator - the actual metric(s) you use to measure a service level (latency, error rate, throughput, etc.)
SLO - service level objective, the stated availability (or latency or durability etc) of the service. Usually expressed as a value over a period of time (e.g 99.9% availability as measured over a moving 30 average). The SLO is measured by the SLI.
SLI - service level indicator. Simply, the direct measurement of the service (i.e metrics)
SRE - Site Reliability Engineer, usually a member of a team who is responsible for the continued availability of the service and the poor sap who gets paged when it breaches SLO or has an outage or other impactful event.
SLI: Service level indicator (Metric to measure the health of a service. For example successful requests per interval / total requests per interval.)
SLO: Service level objective (what performance you expect eg. the previously mentioned SLI is >= 99.5%)
SLA: Servicelevel agreement (legal agreement that defines what happens if a SLO is not met)
