2.12. Service availability

Service availability ≥ 99.9%

Formula for calculating service availability: **Normal service time in a service cycle/Total service time in a service cycle

Terms:

Service cycle It means a calendar month. If you have used the service for less than one month, the accumulative use time of the service in the month is taken as one service cycle.
Service downtime If the error rate in a statistical period, in the unit of 5 minutes, exceeds 0.05%, the service is considered as unavailable in this statistical period. If Kingsoft Cloud CDN is unavailable in a time period of 10 minutes or longer, this time period is defined as service downtime.
Error rate calculation formula (Errors that occur when the edge nodes of Kingsoft Cloud CDN are available in the statistical period + Requests that fail because the edge nodes of Kingsoft Cloud CDN are unavailable in the statistical period)/All requests in the statistical period. Errors that occur when the edge nodes of Kingsoft Cloud CDN are available in the statistical period: the number of 5xx, 403, or 499 errors that occurred due to system failure of Kingsoft Cloud CDN, configuration failure of Kingsoft Cloud CDN, or device breakdown in the statistical period. Requests that fail because the edge nodes of Kingsoft Cloud CDN are unavailable in the statistical period: the average requests in the statistical period in the last seven days on an unavailable node multiplied by the service downtime of the node in the statistical period.

The errors that occur in the following cases are excluded from the statistics:

  • A 5xx error is caused by a back-to-origin error.
  • The domain name is forbidden due to content in breach of regulation or any other reason.
  • An error is caused by you, a third party, or force majeure.
