This paper is not meant to be a scientific one, but rather a business-oriented paper reflecting the author’s experience after having negotiated several hundreds of cloud-based agreements and related SLAs for numerous companies ranging from small and medium-sized enterprises (SME) to multinational ones, in most cases in favor of customers. As a result, this paper is mostly targeted towards practitioners having to deal with SLAs in their daily work; in other words, readers will not find any footnotes or scholarly references as would normally be expected from a scholarly piece of work.
