SLA (Service Level Agreement)

An SLA is a contractual promise about service reliability, usually with penalties if the target is missed.

A Service Level Agreement is the reliability commitment you make to customers in a contract — for example 99.9% availability — typically with service credits if you breach it.

An SLA should be looser than your internal SLO so you have headroom to miss a target without breaching a contract.
