What is Service Level Agreement (SLA)
A service-level agreement (SLA) is a contract between a service provider and its customers that documents what services the provider will furnish and defines the service standards the provider is obligated to meet.
A service-level commitment (SLC) is a broader and more generalized form of an SLA. The two differ because an SLA is bidirectional and involves two teams. In contrast, an SLC is a single-directional obligation that establishes what a team can guarantee its customers at any given time.

Life in 2050: A Glimpse at Medicine in the Future
By 2050, the ways in which we watch our health, seek medical advice, get treatment, and what we're treated for will change dramatically.
While it is safe to say that more people will be able to live longer, healthier lives in the future, it's also likely that future generations will face health threats that are less common, or even unknown, today. To break it down, the field of medicine will be impacted by developments in the five following categories:
- Big data, biometrics, and the internet of things
- Machine learning, AI, and advanced analytics
- Climate change and environmental health hazards
- "Internals," robotics, nanorobotics, and bionics
- Genetic engineering and bioprinting
