The Party B undertakes that the service availability rate of a single Container Security Guard instance is no less than 99.95% per service cycle.

A service cycle is defined as a calendar month. Any duration less than a calendar month shall not constitute a complete Service Cycle. Unless otherwise specified, the total time of a service cycle equals to the total number of days in the service cycle x 24 (hours) x 60 (minutes).

The service availability rate of a single Container Security Guard instance per service cycle:
