Answers to your questions about Axual’s Silver and Gold Incident Support Services

Curious about our Strimzi Incident Support services? Dive into our FAQs for all the details you need. Discover how you can ensure your Kafka environment stays up to date, and how our experts handle your incidents.

What does Strimzi Incident Support cover?

Axual provides Level 1 and 2 support for operational issues in Strimzi environments. This includes supporting Strimzi instances that meet our quality standards, whether or not they are provided by Axual. For non-Axual setups, we perform an assessment to confirm support eligibility.

What is not covered by Strimzi Incident Support?

Axual does not cover development-related issues, such as debugging custom application code or application-specific tuning, whether in-house built or third-party.

Do you support Kafka Connect?

Yes. We support Kafka Connect at the cluster level, including the Kafka Connect framework, workers, and their integration with the Kafka platform. We do not support individual connectors (such as JDBC or CDC), their configuration, or connector-specific behavior.

What problems does Strimzi Incident Support solve?

Axual ensures the reliability and continuous operation of your Kafka environment by providing expert Kafka support, helping you avoid downtime in a cost-effective way.

How does Axual assess and qualify support requests?

Axual uses an intake process to assess readiness, reviewing lifecycle management, automation, monitoring and management tooling, team expertise, and system load to determine whether immediate support is possible or if improvements are required first.
