@etchedpixels @landley @ghul @jti42 @pkal I mean, the reason to pay #RedHat & #SUSE for any business is that they offer very high #SLAs for those willing to pay (i.e. #Finance) and those customers basically demand to get a named account manager they can yell at and expect a "Yes, we'll fix it ASAP!" as the only reply.

That the fixes and improvements would get contributed back to #Linux was and is the original premise, even tho Red Hat decided to axe their "gateway drug" (#CentOS) used to lure businesses into supporting, targeting and using #RHEL

Cloud-Anbieter werben mit 99,99% #Verfügbarkeit. Doch die Realität sieht anders aus. Warum #SLAs oft nur #Marketing sind und für faktenbasierte Aussagen nur bedingt geeignet sind.

🎉 #AWS is more reliable than a toddler with a crayon, until it's not! All it took was a 14-hour hiccup to turn seasoned techies into nail-biting, hotel-bound philosophers questioning cloud infallibility 🤔. Apparently, #SLAs are just good suggestions when the cloud gods decide to nap. 💥

🌱 Making AI Sustainability Visible: Introducing a New DSL for Environmental Impact Documentation

In this work, we aim to leverage the concept of #quality models and service level agreements (#SLAs) common in other IT fields and merge them with existing ML model reporting initiatives and Green/Frugal AI proposals to formalize a Sustainable #QualityModel for AI/ML models.

Work led by Gwendal JOUNEAUX to be presented at the 2nd Workshop on Green-Aware #ArtificialIntelligence (Green-Aware AI) to take place in conjunction with the 28th European Conference on Artificial Intelligence (#ECAI)

Many service providers set service level agreements (SLAs) for their services. Though, not all SLAs are the same. In this article, I've picked the SLAs for #AWS EC2 and #Google Cloud Compute Engine as an example to show that - even though those services have more than three nines of #SLA - the economic value of those SLAs is near zero. This dark side of the #SLAs is one of the many reasons you should always create resilient applications that can survive some of their machines going down.

Hyperscalers are not serious about Service Level Agreements (SLA)

I often talk with people about Service Level Agreements (SLAs) in public cloud contexts, and I discover that their idea of what those SLAs are is often distorted. I believe SLAs need to be approached with a healthy dose of skepticism. In reality, they often provide little meaningful recourse when things go awry. There are two big issues, in my opinion, with the SLA provided by many companies, including the hyperscalers:

@yacc143 @toor Yeah, I see the #Enshittification by #Telcos all the time.

If it was my decision as @[email protected] would've banned #Vodafone from buying #KabelDeutschland and #Unitymedia because since the latter one was absorbed, I've had to fight tooth and nail to have them follow through their #SLAs and I've to still get them to refund me as per contract...

The situation seemingly improved once I threatened to conolain at @BNetzA and seek legal advice as a matter of principle!
