Does GCP offer a service-level agreement (SLA)?

Yes. GCP backs its service with an SLA: if it misses its uptime commitment you are entitled to service credits.

What is GCP's uptime commitment?

GCP's headline uptime commitment is 99.99%, generally measured per month.

How do I claim GCP SLA credits?

Credits are not automatic — you must request them within the SLA's stated claim window.
