• Partial Downtime: Reduced functionality counted as 50% downtime

​

Core Components Covered

The following components are monitored for SLA compliance:

• Gateway instance
• Log ingestion pipeline

​

Exclusions

SLA excludes downtime due to:

• Scheduled maintenance (14-day advance notice)
• Downstream provider incidents
• Client hardware/software/network issues
• Third-party AI provider outages
• Client misuse or unauthorized modifications

​

Getting Started

​

Prerequisites

• VPC with appropriate CIDR ranges
• Kubernetes cluster (GKE, EKS, or AKS)
• Container registry access
• DNS configuration for internal routing

​

Deployment Process

1. Infrastructure Setup: Configure VPC, subnets, and security groups
2. Cluster Preparation: Set up Kubernetes cluster with required permissions
3. Bifrost Installation: Deploy using provided Helm charts or manifests
4. Configuration: Apply your specific settings and integrations
5. Validation: Run connectivity and performance tests
6. Go Live: Begin routing production traffic

​

Cost Optimization

​

Resource Sizing

• Development: 2 vCPU, 4GB RAM minimum
• Production: 4+ vCPU, 8GB+ RAM recommended
• High Availability: Multi-zone deployment with load balancing

​

Scaling Strategies

• Horizontal Pod Autoscaling: Based on CPU/memory utilization
• Vertical Pod Autoscaling: Automatic resource adjustment
• Cluster Autoscaling: Node pool expansion/contraction
