Servicelevel agreements define performance guarantees from "summary" of Cloud Computing For Dummies by Judith S. Hurwitz,Daniel Kirsch

Service level agreements (SLAs) are essential components of cloud computing contracts that outline the performance guarantees between a cloud service provider and a customer. These agreements establish the expectations for the quality of service that will be delivered, including metrics such as uptime, response times, and availability. By defining performance guarantees in SLAs, both parties have a clear understanding of what to expect from the cloud service. This helps manage expectations and ensures that the service provider is held accountable for meeting the agreed-upon standards. Without SLAs, there is a risk of misunderstandings and disputes arising over performance issues. SLAs typically include specific metrics and benchmarks that the service provider must meet, such as a minimum percentage of uptime or a maximum response time for customer inquiries. These metrics are crucial for monitoring and evaluating the performance of the cloud service and holding the provider accountable for any deviations from the agreed-upon standards. In addition to setting performance guarantees, SLAs also establish the procedures for reporting and resolving service issues. This includes outlining the process for reporting downtime or performance degradation, as well as the steps that will be taken to address and rectify these issues. Having clear procedures in place helps ensure that any problems are addressed promptly and effectively.
  1. SLAs play a critical role in defining the expectations and responsibilities of both the cloud service provider and the customer. By establishing performance guarantees and outlining procedures for issue resolution, SLAs help build trust and accountability in the cloud computing relationship. These agreements are essential for ensuring a positive and productive partnership between the parties involved.
