Availability Metrics

Availability metrics measure how reliably a system or service is operational and accessible when needed. They quantify the percentage of time a system is up and functioning correctly over a specific period. High availability indicates the system is often available, reducing downtime and disruptions, while low availability suggests frequent outages. These metrics help organizations assess system reliability, plan maintenance, and improve user experience by ensuring services are consistently accessible. In essence, they track how well a system is doing at being ready and usable for its users.
