Cloud Workstations
Service Level Agreement (SLA)
During the Term of the agreement under which Google has
agreed to provide Google Cloud Platform to Customer(as
applicable, the "Agreement"), the Covered Service will
provide a Monthly Uptime Percentage to Customer (the
"Service Level Objective" or "SLO") as follows:
Covered Service |
Monthly Uptime Percentage |
Cloud Workstations CreateWorkstation API requests
|
99.0% |
Cloud Workstations StartWorkstation API requests
|
99.0% |
If Google does not meet the SLO, and if Customer meets
its obligations under this SLA, Customer will be eligible
to receive the Financial Credits described below. Monthly
Uptime Percentage and Financial Credit are determined on a
calendar month basis per Project per Region. This SLA
states Customer's sole and exclusive remedy for any
failure by Google to meet the SLO. Capitalized terms used
in this SLA, but not defined in this SLA, have the meaning
set forth in the Agreement. If the Agreement authorizes
the resale or supply of Google Cloud Platform under a
Google Cloud partner or reseller program, then all
references to Customer in this SLA mean Partner or
Reseller (as applicable), and any Financial Credit(s) will
only apply for impacted Partner or Reseller order(s) under
the Agreement.
Definitions
The following definitions apply to the SLA:
- "Back-off Requirements" means, when an error
occurs, Customer is responsible for waiting for a period
of time before issuing another request. This means that
after the first error, there is a minimum back-off
interval of 10 seconds and for each consecutive error,
the back-off interval increases exponentially up to 60
seconds.
- "Covered Service" means Cloud Workstations
CreateWorkstation API requests or StartWorkstation API
requests.
- "Downtime" means more than a 5 percent Error
Rate and is measured based on server side Error Rate.
- "Downtime Period" means a period of 10 or more
consecutive minutes of Downtime. Partial minutes or
intermittent Downtime for a period of less than 10
minutes will not count towards any Downtime Periods.
- "Error Rate" means the number of Valid Requests
that result in a response with HTTP Status 5XX and Code
"Internal Error" divided by the total number of Valid
Requests during that period, subject to a minimum of 10
Valid Requests in the measurement period. Repeated
identical requests do not count towards the Error Rate
unless they conform to the Back-off Requirements.
- "Financial Credit" means the following:
Monthly Uptime Percentage |
Percentage of monthly bill for the respective Covered Service in the Region affected that does not meet SLO that will be credited to Customer's future monthly bills
|
95.0% - < 99.0% |
10% |
90.0% - < 95.0% |
25% |
< 90.0% |
50% |
- "Monthly Uptime Percentage" means total number
of minutes in a month, minus the number of minutes of
Downtime suffered from all Downtime Periods in a month,
divided by the total number of minutes in a month.
- "Region" means the applicable region identified
at
https://cloud.google.com/about/locations.
- "Valid Requests" are requests that conform to
the Documentation, and that would normally result in a
non-error response.
Customer Must Request Financial Credit
In order to receive any of the Financial Credits
described above, Customer must
notify Google technical support
within 30 days from the time Customer becomes eligible to
receive a Financial Credit. Customer must also provide
Google with log files showing Downtime Periods and the
date and time they occurred. If Customer does not comply
with these requirements, Customer will forfeit its right
to receive a Financial Credit.
Maximum Financial Credit
The maximum aggregate number of Financial Credits issued
by Google to Customer for all Downtime Periods in a single
billing month will not exceed 50% of the amount due from
Customer for the Covered Service for the applicable month.
Financial Credits will be in the form of a monetary credit
applied to future use of the Covered Service and will be
applied within 60 days after the Financial Credit was
requested.
SLA Exclusions
The SLA does not apply to any (a) features or services
designated pre-general availability (unless otherwise set
forth in the associated Documentation); (b) features or
services excluded from the SLA (in the associated
Documentation); or (c) errors (i) caused by factors
outside of Google's reasonable control; (ii) that resulted
from Customer's software or hardware or third party
software or hardware, or both; (iii) that resulted from
abuses or other behaviors that violate the Agreement; or
(iv) that resulted from quotas applied by the system or
listed in the Documentation or Admin Console.
