Cloud Filestore
Service Level Agreement (SLA)
Last modified: March 20, 2023
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 as
follows (the "Service Level Objective" or "SLO"):
Covered Service
|
Monthly Uptime Percentage
|
Cloud Filestore Basic SSD, Cloud Filestore Basic
HDD, or Cloud Filestore High Scale
|
>= 99.9%
|
Cloud Filestore Enterprise
|
>= 99.99%
|
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 instance. 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.
- "Covered Service"means a Cloud
Filestore Basic HDD, Basic SSD, High Scale, or
Enterprise tier instance.

the applicable Covered Service instance fail.
- "Downtime Period"means (i) for
Filestore Basic or High Scale, five or more consecutive
minutes of Downtime, and (ii) for Filestore Enterprise,
one or more consecutive minutes of Downtime.
Intermittent Downtime for a period of less than five
minutes for Filestore Basic or High Scale, or one minute
for Filestore Enterprise, will not count towards any
Downtime Periods. Downtime as part of Scheduled
Maintenance will not count towards any Downtime Period.
- "Financial Credit"means the
following for the Cloud Filestore Basic HDD, Basic SSD,
or High Scale tier:
- " Financial Credit
" means the following for the
Cloud Filestore Enterprise tier:
- " 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.
- " Scheduled Maintenance
" is Downtime related to
network, hardware, or software maintenance or upgrades.
Scheduled Maintenance will be performed at Google’s
discretion
Customer Must Request Financial Credit
In order to receive any of the Financial Credits
described above, Customer

issued by Google to Customer for any and all Downtime
Periods that occur in a single billing month will not
