Axual running on European cloud infrastructure under customer control

Axual Cloud: your teams build, we run Kafka

Get the full Axual platform without running Kubernetes or Kafka yourself. We host it on Scaleway, a European cloud provider, and manage it, from cluster health to upgrades. Governance and security work exactly the same as self-hosted.

Strimzi is open source. Support for it shouldn't be optional

Strimzi gives you a powerful way to run Kafka on Kubernetes but it's community-supported. When something breaks in production, "check the docs" isn't an incident response plan. Axual is the only global provider offering commercial Strimzi support outside Red Hat itself.

Frequently asked questions

What's the difference between Level 1 and Level II Strimzi support?

Level I covers business-hours response for production issues. Level II adds 24/7 coverage, priority escalation, and direct access to senior engineers.

Do you support Kafka running on Strimzi, even if we didn't deploy it with Axual?

Yes. Our Strimzi incident support covers diagnosis, mitigation, and recovery for existing Strimzi-based clusters, backed by SLAs.

Can you run Axual on-premises, or is this cloud only?

Both. Run Axual self-hosted in your own datacentre or cloud account, with our managed services if you want us to operate it, or choose Axual Cloud, fully managed by us on European infrastructure.

Is our data kept in the EU?

Yes. Axual is EU-owned, and Axual Cloud runs on Scaleway, a European cloud provider, operated and supported from the Netherlands. Self-hosted, your data never leaves your own infrastructure.

How is the platform secured?

Role-based access control, audit logging on every change, mTLS and SASL authentication (including OAuth), credentials managed through Vault or a comparable secrets store, and SSO via your existing identity provider.

How do we get support once we're live?

Urgent production issues use a 24/7 standby line. Operational questions go to your dedicated support team by email or self-service portal chat, and other requests go through the Axual Service Desk.
