Which type of service level agreement is NOT offered by OCI Compute Service?

The correct answer is that the Application Plane service level agreement is not offered by OCI Compute Service. In OCI, the service level agreements typically focus on the Data Plane, Control Plane, and Performance aspects, which are crucial for ensuring that the compute services are available, reliable, and perform at the required levels.

The Data Plane refers to the actual data transfer and processing that occurs within the service, ensuring that applications can access and manipulate data effectively. Performance agreements relate to the metrics that determine how well the compute services meet specific performance standards, such as processing speed and response time.

The Control Plane involves the management functionalities, including the operations that govern the behavior of the Compute Service, such as provisioning, monitoring, and management of resources.

While applications running on OCI may have their own performance and availability expectations, these are generally not encapsulated in a specific service level agreement by OCI for the Application Plane. Instead, OCI provides SLAs that assure the underlying infrastructure and service functionality rather than individual applications built on top of it. Therefore, the omission of an Application Plane SLA aligns with OCI's emphasis on infrastructure and service reliability rather than application-level guarantees.
