| 6 | +## Objective |
| 7 | + |
| 8 | +This document describes the reversibility policy for the product line Managed Data Visualization product covering OVHcloud offer Managed Grafana. |
| 9 | + |
| 10 | +This policy aims to implement the general reversibility principles and our compliance with the SWIPO IAAS Code of Conduct for cloud providers. |
| 11 | + |
| 12 | +## Feature List |
| 13 | + |
| 14 | +The features of the product line fall into three categories: |
| 15 | + |
| 16 | +1. **Core features** for which we guarantee migration capacity. |
| 17 | +1. **OVHcloud implementations** that require adaptation to a new migration environment. |
| 18 | +1. **Specific features** that cannot be guaranteed for migration as they are related to the OVHcloud environment or involve custom developments. |
| 19 | + |

| 45 | +## List of architectures |
| 46 | + |
| 47 | +Managed Grafana service offer is deployed in single-node mode (plan essential). Integration with other OVHcloud services (OpenSearch, databases) is native via vRack. Architectures include: <br> |
| 48 | +-Vertical scalability: Increase resources (CPU/RAM) via the OVHcloud interface. <br> |
| 49 | +-Cross-service integration: Centralize logs and metrics in managed OpenSearch |
| 50 | + |
| 51 | +## Partner Services |
| 52 | + |
| 53 | +The OVHcloud partners concerned are listed in the [OVHcloud partners] directory (/links/partner) under the **“cloud migration”** keywords. |
| 54 | + |
| 55 | +OVHcloud also has a dedicated service: [OVHcloud Professional Services](/links/professional-services). |
| 56 | + |
| 57 | +## Costs and fees |
| 58 | + |
| 59 | +No termination fee: No extra billing linked to the default data migration. Billing stops as soon as the service is terminated. |

| 64 | + |
| 65 | +> [!warning] |
| 66 | +> |
| 67 | +> OVHcloud does not guarantee the use and availability of backups to restore customer data after termination of the service. |
| 68 | +
|
| 69 | +OVHcloud does not store any data after deleting a Managed Data Visualization cluster. |
| 70 | +Automatic and manual snapshots are irreversibly deleted. A manual export is required to preserve the data. |
