Availability

Cloud service availability describes the degree to which a specific service is in a specified operable and committable state if a provisioning a request at a random time. Availability is usually expressed as a percentage and stated in the CSP service level agreement. The CSP sets availability, but additional payments can enhance this value. The solution architect should be aware of all service availability rates and advise mission/business owners on the service's ability to meet organizational goals.
