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:

BLABBERMOUTH.NET

A succinct exposé from Mr #DavidAllenGreen on the limitations of an MoU, highlighting, in this specific case, but not only, yet more "disregard" from the #UK government. From the very limited experience I had of helping redact paralegal documents in hi-tech professional services, #SLAs, #SOWs, #MoUs, and sales contracts, it was always my understanding that an MoU was always just that: a preparatory document to the final contract. What were the government expecting?

Yesterday the Supreme Court handed down its appeal judgment in the Rwanda policy case. For an informed view on the case, it is worth taking the time to watch Lord Reed, the President of the court, giving the summary of the judgment: A court-approved summary can also be read

I'd rather pay @ubuntu or even @opensuse / #SUSE for some features in some cases, but those ain't just for the priviegue of using said OS but actual #support with guaranteed #SLAs.

#RedHat even offers some insurances as part of their plans - if #Microsoft did that they'd have to declare insolvency...

But yeah most #TechIlliterates would be perfectly fine with #UbuntuLTS if not #PorteusKiosk...

@thelinuxexperiment the big disadvantage I see is lack of #commercial support, since #Landscape and #SLAs offered by #Canonical as opt-in are the main selling point of @ubuntu ...
