-The Free SKU offered by default doesn't have a associated Service Level *Agreement*, but has a Service Level *Objective* of 99.5%. Transient connectivity issues are observed if there was an upgrade, unhealthy underlay nodes, platform maintenance, or an application overwhelms the API Server with requests, etc. If your workload doesn't tolerate API Server restarts, then we suggest using Uptime SLA.
