To use the Tencent Cloud Load Balancer (including Cloud Load Balancer and Gateway Load Balancer) Service (the “Service(s)”), you shall read and comply with this Tencent Cloud Load Balancer Service Level Agreement (the “Agreement” or the “SLA”) and the Tencent Cloud Service Agreement. This Agreement contains the terms and definitions of the Services, Service Availability/service success rate level indicator, compensation plan, disclaimer, and other relevant contents. Please be sure to read and fully understand the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Limitations, disclaimers, and other terms involving your material rights and interests may prompt your attention in bold, underlined, etc.
1. Terms and Definitions
1.1 Tencent Cloud Load Balancer Service
“Cloud Load Balancer , CLB” refers to the traffic distribution service provided by Tencent Cloud, which allows you to expand the system's service capabilities and eliminate single points of failure through load balancing. Please refer to the services you purchased and the services provided by Tencent Cloud for specific details.
“Gateway Load Balancer , GWLB” is a load balancing system that operates at the network layer. GWLB instances can help customers deploy, scale, and manage third-party virtual devices such as firewalls, intrusion detection and prevention systems, analytics, visibility, etc., with simpler operations and stronger security.
1.2 Single Instance
“Single Instance” refers to a load balancing instance with a unit quantity of 1. Service availability is calculated based on Single Instance.
1.3 Monthly Total Minutes of the Single Instance Service
Monthly Total Minutes of the Single Instance Service are calculated as total number of days in a Single Instance within the Service Month × 24 (hours) × 60 (minutes).
1.4 Instance Unavailability
When a load balancing instance with forwarding rules is set up and all connections established between the client and the specified load balancing instance fail, and this state persists for more than 1 minute, it is considered that the load balancing instance is unavailable within that minute.
1.5 Single Instance Service Unavailability Minutes
“Single Instance Service Unavailability Minutes” = Instance Unavailability resolution moment - Instance Unavailability start moment. Unavailable time is calculated in minutes, and any time less than 60 seconds is calculated as 1 minute. For example, if the unavailable minutes are 1 minute and 1 second, the single instance unavailable minutes will be calculated as 2 minutes. If the recovery time from business failure is less than 1 minute (i.e. the duration of instance unavailability does not exceed 1 minute), it will not be counted as unavailable minute.
1.6 Monthly Unavailability Minutes
Accumulate the Single Instance Service Unavailability Minutes in each service month to obtain the “Monthly Unavailability Minutes”.
1.7 Service Month
refers to each natural month included in the service term of the Services you purchased. For example, if you purchase the Services for three months, and the date of service opening is March 17, then four Service Months are included, of which the first Service Month refers to March 17 to March 31, the second Service Month refers to April 1 to April 30, the third Service Month refers to May 1 to May 31, and the fourth Service Month refers to June 1 to June 16. Service Availability is calculated separately by each Service Month.
1.8 Monthly Service Fee
“Monthly Service Fee” refers to the total service fee you pay for a Single Instance in a Service Month, excluding the portion that has been purchased but not consumed. Monthly Service Fee does not include the fee deducted by vouchers, coupons, service fee reductions, etc.

2. Service Availability
2.1 Service Availability Calculation Method
Service Availability = (total minutes of Single Instance Service within a Service Month - Single Instance Service Unavailability Minutes) / total minutes of Single Instance Service within a Service Month × 100%
2.2 Service Availability
Product Type | Service Availability Standard | Explanation |
Domain Name-based Public Network CLB Gateway Load Balancer | 99.99% | Assuming that the current month is 30 days, the available time for a Single Instance Service cycle should be 30 days * 24 hours * 60 minutes * 99.99%=43195.68 minutes, resulting in an unavailable time of 43200-43195.68=4.32 minutes. |
Non-domain Name-based Public Network CLB Private Network CLB | 99.95% | Assuming that the current month is 30 days, the available time for a Single Instance Service cycle should be 30 days * 24 hours * 60 minutes * 99.95%=43178.4 minutes, resulting in an unavailable time of 43200-43178.4=21.6 minutes. |
