Service Level Agreements (SLAs) are a critical aspect of any online service, including those provided by Microsoft. These agreements outline the level of service the company will provide and the expectations for uptime, performance, and support.

Microsoft offers various online services, including Microsoft Office 365, Azure, Dynamics 365, and others. Each service has its own SLA that outlines the level of service and performance that customers can expect.

Office 365 SLA

The Office 365 SLA guarantees a 99.9% uptime for its services, including Exchange Online, SharePoint Online, Skype for Business Online, and OneDrive for Business. Microsoft promises to compensate customers if it fails to meet this uptime guarantee. Office 365 also offers round-the-clock technical support for customers experiencing service issues.

Azure SLA

The Azure SLA specifies a service credit for customers if the service falls below 99.95% uptime for virtual machines, cloud services, and storage accounts. Microsoft guarantees a 99.9% uptime for Azure SQL Database and guarantees that it will be accessible within 30 seconds of a request. Azure provides support 24/7 through various channels, including email, phone, and social media.
