None of them even promise that -- last time I checked, it was 99.95% for most of them.
- ReidZB 7y agoAWS services have their own individual SLAs. Route53, in particular, has a 100% SLA: https://aws.amazon.com/route53/sla/ https://aws.amazon.com/route53/sla/ (To my knowledge, it's the only AWS service to promise 100%.)
- syntheticcdo 7y agoInteresting distinction here: 100% SLA on responding to incoming DNS requests. The R53 console or management interfaces could be down and the SLA stays in tact-- if you can't update your DNS then 100% incorrect responses isn't very helpful.
- ReidZB 7y agoVery true. I wonder if the control plane is hosted in a single region.
