Steps
Configure the Terraform `grafana` provider with your Grafana Cloud URL and a service account token that has SLO permissions
Define a `grafana_slo` resource with `name`, `description`, a `destination_datasource` block pointing at your Cloud Prometheus/Mimir instance, and a `query` block (e.g. `type = "ratio"` or `"freeform"`)
Add an `objectives` block specifying the target value (0-1) and evaluation `window`
Add `alerting` blocks with `fastburn`/`slowburn` sub-blocks to generate burn-rate alert rules, including annotations and labels
Run `terraform plan`/`apply` and confirm the SLO and its alerts appear in the Grafana Cloud SLO app
Version-control the Terraform config so SLO changes go through code review like other infrastructure
Known gotchas
This resource manages the Grafana Cloud SLO app feature, not a Grafana OSS capability — it requires Grafana Cloud
The `query.type` field only accepts a fixed set of values (freeform, query, ratio, grafana_queries, threshold); arbitrary query shapes aren't supported
Burn-rate alert enrichment options are currently limited, so don't assume every advanced UI feature is exposed in the Terraform schema
