Cloud / Logs Data Platform
Objective
This document describes the reversibility policy for the Managed Log Manager product covering the OVHcloud Logs Data Platform offer.
This policy aims to implement the general reversibility principles and our compliance with the SWIPO IAAS Code of Conduct for cloud providers.
List of features
Features of the product line fall into three categories:
- Core features for which we guarantee migration capacity.
- OVHcloud implementations that require adaptation to a new migration environment.
- Specific features that cannot be guaranteed for migration as they are related to the OVHcloud environment or involve custom developments.

List of architectures
The components of the product are accessible from the OVHcloud interface and allow to operate streams, dashboards, dedicated inputs, indexes, aliases and OpenSearch Dashboards instances.
The product is divided into two service offers:
- A shared infrastructure: "logs-account"
- A dedicated cluster: "logs-enterprise"
Partner services
The OVHcloud partners concerned are listed in the OVHcloud partners directory under the "Data center expansion and Migration" keywords.
OVHcloud also has a dedicated service: OVHcloud Professional Services.
Cost and fees
Features described in tables are available at no cost, unless otherwise specified, and are freely usable by the customer. Visit the Logs Data Platform product page to see the price list.
- No additional exit fees applied.
- Billing depends on the volume stored and the type of infrastructure mobilized (indexed/archived).
- Any assistance or turnkey export service may incur additional costs.
Data retention after termination of the contract
OVHcloud does not guarantee the use and availability of backups to restore client's data after service termination.
- Streams and OpenSearch indexes are deleted immediately once the service is removed.
- The cold storage archives are immediately destroyed upon termination of the service
- The client is fully responsible for data export via API or ldp-archive-mirror before decommissioning the service or contract termination.
