Comparing SLAs for Cloud Services: A Model for Reasoning

Abstract: Nowadays cloud services are gaining their momentum. A Service Level Agreement (SLA) represents an agreement between a service provider and a customer for a particular service provision. Cloud providers and services are often selected more dynamically than in traditional IT services. Hence, services need to be compared according both to technical aspects and the promised SLAs, but no widely accepted model, standard or best practice, that would lead to a more rigorous SLA comparison, are currently available.

“…In other words, the SLA terms are highly specific to both customer and the type of market in this example, and their definitions most likely semantically differ from typical generic operational KPIs used by e.g., an IT outsourcing provider. Another example for similar, but semantically different SLIs for service availability is given in Longo et al (2018) and reproduced in Table 1. Further examples are given in the scenarios depicted in Sect.…”

“…While the problem of data availability in a broader sense has been extensively studied in the current literature on schema matching and ontology matching (e.g., Shvaiko and Euzenat 2005;Noy 2004;Bernstein et al 2011), the more specific problem of mapping SLIs to KPIs in a finegranular manner and including the ability to reason on the differences between intermediate computation results in different stages of aggregation has been largely overlooked so far, except for some works in early stages (cf. Longo et al 2018) or in the context of specific use cases (e.g., Bellini et al 2018).…”
