Article 1 (Definitions)

  1. Error: Occurs when the HTTP status result of the Member's valid request to a cluster with high availability is a ‘500’ or ‘503’ internal error.
  2. Error Rate: The ratio of erroneous requests to the total valid requests made by the Member within a 5-minute period (calculated every 5 minutes; if the total requests in those 5 minutes are zero, the error rate is considered 0%)
  3. Valid Request: A request that adheres to the formats provided by the Service and directly calls the Hadoop Eco Open API offered by the Service. If an error occurs, the Member must retry the request, after waiting for an exponentially increasing period, starting at 1 second up to a maximum of 32 seconds. Requests that do not comply with this retry requirement are excluded from the valid requests.
  4. Monthly Availability Rate (%): 100 - Average error rate for the month
  5. Monthly Fee: Refers to the actual amount paid by the cloud Member to the Company for cloud services in the month a failure occurs. If the fee for cloud services is calculated and billed separately per instance or task, it refers to the amount actually paid by the cloud member for the respective instance or task.

Article 2 (Exclusions from the Application of the SLA)

The relevant time is not included in the failure time in the following cases:

  1. Where the fees for the product have not been established due to reasons such as beta testing, or where the service or product falls within the free tier of a paid product, or where no additional costs are incurred;
  2. For products that are charged per occurrence or transaction, where products or services only the successful occurrences or transactions are charged;
  3. When the service or product is not provided by the Company;
  4. In cases where compensation for damages is not applicable under the KakaoCloud Terms of Service;
  5. In other cases equivalent to the above where the incident is not caused by the Company’s actions (including inaction).

Article 3 (Application of the SLA)

  2. The Company guarantees a minimum monthly availability rate of 99.9% for the Service during the relevant month. If the monthly availability rate is not met, the Company shall issue free credits to the Member in accordance with this SLA and the KakaoCloud Terms of Service.
  3. Specific eligibility for compensation, the scope of compensation, and the amount of compensation may vary according to the KakaoCloud Terms of Service and Detailed Guidelines.
