1. Definition

Service Cycle: One Service Cycle equals to one calendar month. If the service is used for less than one calendar month, the Service Cycle will be calculated as one calendar month.
Single Instance Service Cycle in Minutes: Calculated on the basis of the total number of days in a Service Cycle × 24 (hours) × 60 (minutes).
Single Region Service Cycle in Minutes: The total Instance Service Cycle in Minutes in all availability zones of a single region.
Instance Unavailability: The EPC instance is deemed unavailable if the disconnection between an EPC instance configured with access permitted rules and any IP address over TCP or UDP in the inbound and outbound directions lasts for more than 5 minutes.
Single Instance Service Downtime in Minutes: The total number of minutes in one Service Cycle during which time a single EPC instance is unavailable.
Single Region Multi-Zone Service Unavailability: Refers to the situation that, when EPC instances are deployed in at least two availability zones of a single region (hereinafter referred to as “single region multi-zone”), all EPC instances in an availability zone experience Instance Unavailability and meanwhile other EPC instances in any other availability zones of this region also experience Instance Unavailability (hereinafter referred to as “unavailable EPC instances in other zones of the same region”)
Single Region Multi-Zone Service Downtime in Minutes: Refers to the total number of minutes for all unavailable EPC instances in other zones of the same region when Single Region Multi-Zone Service Unavailability occurs in that region in one Service Cycle.
EPC Cabinet Instance Unavailability: The EPC cabinet instance is deemed unavailable if the disconnection between the server under an EPC cabinet configured with access permitted rules and any IP address over TCP or UDP in the inbound and outbound directions lasts for more than 5 minutes.
ECP Cabinet Instance Service Downtime in Minutes: Refers to the total number of minutes in one Service Cycle during which time a single EPC Cabinet is unavailable.

2. Service Availability Guarantee

2.1 The service availability of EPC shall be counted according to the service cycle based on two dimensions. The specific availability guarantee and calculation formula are as follows:
(1)Single EPC instance: The service availability of a single EPC instance in one Service Cycle should be no lower than 99.95%.
Service availability calculation formula: (Instance Service Cycle in Minutes – Instance Service Downtime in Minutes) / Instance Service Cycle in Minutes × 100%.
(2)Single Region Multi-Zone Service: The service availability of multi-zone in a single region in one Service Cycle should be no lower than 99.99%.
Service availability calculation formula: (Single Region Service Cycle in Minutes – Single Region Multi-Zone Service Downtime in Minutes) / Single Region Service Cycle in Minutes × 100%.
(3) EPC Cabinet Instance: The service availability of single EPC cabinet instance in one Service Cycle should be no lower than 99.95%.
Service availability calculation formula: (Single Instance Service Cycle in Minutes – EPC Cabinet Instance Service Downtime in Minutes) / Single Instance Service Cycle in Minutes × 100%.
2.2 If the EPC service does not reach the above-mentioned availability guarantee, the customer may be compensated according to this agreement, and the compensation scope does not include the unavailable service time caused by:
(1)System maintenance made by Kingsoft Cloud with a prior notification to the customer, including cutovers, maintenance, upgrades and simulated failure drills;

Kingsoft Cloud compensates by granting balance or vouchers, the granted balance or vouchers are used only to purchase EPC products. The compensation will not exceed the monthly service fee (excluding the deductible part by granting balance or vouchers) paid by the customer for this EPC instance in the current month.
