In DevOps, maintaining high service uptime is a top priority, as even short outages can impact users and business operations. Being able to quickly analyze and identify servers that are underperforming helps you take proactive steps to ensure reliability. In this challenge, you will use your skills with **pandas DataFrames** to process and interpret service uptime data, making it easier to spot issues before they escalate.
