This document describes how to change your connection groups' intended
levels of reliability between critical production, non-critical production, and
no SLA. For more information about connection groups, see
Cloud Interconnect groups.
When you configure a Cloud Interconnect connection, you can do so at
a specific level of reliability. You can choose between the following
reliability options:
Critical production. Choose this option for critical production workloads
that require maximum resiliency. This option provides a 99.99% uptime SLA.
Non-critical production. Choose this option for non-critical production
and development workloads. This option provides a 99.9% uptime SLA.
No SLA. You can configure your connection group without specifying an
intended level of reliability. We recommend that you avoid using this option
for resources in which extended downtime is undesirable. This option doesn't
provide an uptime SLA.
Change reliability options for Cloud Interconnect connection groups
Use the following procedure to change the reliability options for a
Cloud Interconnect connection group. When you update your connection
group from non-critical production to critical production, you might need to
modify your deployment to meet the new SLA requirements. For guidance on SLA
blockers, see
Fix SLA eligibility problems.
Permissions required for this task
To perform this task, you must have been granted the following permissions
or the following Identity and Access Management (IAM) roles.
Select the connection group that you want to edit.
Click Edit.
In the Intended SLA field, select Critical production or
Non-critical production.
Click Save.
gcloud
You can declare a different reliability level for your
Cloud Interconnect connection by using the following command.
gcloud compute interconnects groups update GROUP_NAME \
--intended-topology-capability SLA
Replace the following:
GROUP_NAME: the name of your connection group
SLA: the SLA to use; available values are
PRODUCTION_CRITICAL, PRODUCTION_NON_CRITICAL, or NO_SLA
Change reliability options for VLAN attachment groups
Use the procedures in the following sections to change reliability options for
your VLAN attachment groups. When you update your connection group from
non-critical production to critical production, your deployment might not meet
the new SLA requirements. If so, the group reports SLA blockers to explain the
changes you need to make to achieve the critical production SLA. For more information
about SLA blockers, see
Fix SLA eligibility problems.
Permissions required for this task
To perform this task, you must have been granted the following permissions
or the following Identity and Access Management (IAM) roles.
Select the VLAN attachment group that you want to edit.
Click Edit.
In the Production SLA field, select Critical production or
Non-critical production.
Click Save.
gcloud
You can declare a different reliability level for your VLAN attachment group
by using the following command. Replace GROUP_NAME with
the name of your connection group, and replace SLA with
either PRODUCTION_CRITICAL, PRODUCTION_NON_CRITICAL, or NO_SLA.
gcloud compute interconnects attachments groups update GROUP_NAME \
--intended-availability-sla SLA
