1 Start 2 Section 1 3 Section 2 4 Section 3 5 Final
The SLA-Ready Common Reference Model (CRM) describes, promotes and supports the uptake of cloud service level agreements, by providing a common understanding of SLAs for cloud services.
 
The Common Reference Model serves to guide Cloud Service Providers on best practices for cloud SLAs based on standardisation recommendations and a set of general, economic, responsibility and technical SLOs requirements on the customer side.
 
In order to validate the developed Common Reference Model from your perspective, we kindly ask you to assess the relative importance of each Common Reference Model element by replying to the following set of questions.
