Uptime

The fraction of time a service is **available and serving successful responses** — often rolled up monthly.

#When to use

Executive dashboards, SLA reporting, and comparing regions or deploy strategies.

#When not to

Uptime alone ignores quality — pair with groundedness and latency SLOs.

#Example

99.95% uptime with readiness probes excluding pods that cannot reach the vector index.
