Service Level Expectations
Background
This page describes the service level expectations users of Fedora Infrastructure services can expect. It is roughly based on a service management document produced by Cornell University's IT department. You can find more information here.
The Fedora Project is a global project and thus Fedora Infrastructure strives to provide service at all hours of the day.
Note that Fedora Infrastructure itself depends on service provided by its various upstream providers of internet connectivity, software development communities and hardware providers, and may be constrained by service at these levels.
Current and past service status updates are available at https://status.fedoraproject.org.
Definitions
Service Critical - Service is not functioning at all/unusable.
Service Major - Service is working, but with a major issue or slowdown.
Service Minor - Service is working, bug or cosmetic issue is seen.
Target Response time - target time from notification of issue to response from Fedora Infrastructure.
Target Resolution time - target time to resolve issue
Planned Maintenance
From time to time Planned Maintenance will be scheduled. Announcements of these will be to the announce or devel-announce or cloud-announce lists and will also have a issue opened in the issue tracker. During Planned Maintenance services listed may be unavailable. Status will be updated to reflect any in progress Planned Maintenace.
Primary Services
Primary services are hosted in the fedoraproject.org or getfedora.org domains and subdomains there of.
These services are the most critical to the Fedora Project mission and have the highest expectation for uptime.

Secondary Services
Secondary services are hosted in other domains like fedorainfracloud.org, cloud.fedoraproject.org, etc
These services are maintained as time permits and have a lower expectation of uptime.

Community Services
Community Services are services run entirely by community volunteers. These services have differing SLEs, but are often less supported than the above services.

Internal infrastructure Services
Infrastructure runs some services for their own needs internally. These services include collectd for stats gathering, nagios, log processing, etc. These services typically have a lower priority than the above services and will be handled at the discretion of the Infrastructure team.
