*Under the following configuration: (i) deploy network in at least two availability zones within the same region; (ii) set up two gateways per availability zone; (iii) connect tunnels to gateways on 2 different regions; (iv) whitelist all gateways’ IP addresses if you are deploying through gateways instead of using tunnels.

The Monthly Service Availability shall be calculated as follows:

Monthly Service Availability (%) = A / B x 100
