---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
11.0.1 | 3.0.1 | 3.1.0 | Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform - 4.10.0 or later fix levels - 4.9.0 or later fix levels - 4.8.0 or later fix levels - 4.7.0 or later fix levels - 4.6.8 or later fix levels |

If you want to set up persistent storage, Event Streams requires block storage configured to use the XFS or ext4 file system. The use of file storage (for example, NFS) is not recommended. For example, you can use one of the following systems: - Kubernetes local volumes - Amazon Elastic Block Store (EBS) - Rook Ceph - Red Hat OpenShift Container Storage |

IBM Event Streams incorporates both IBM proprietary and open source components, including Apache Kafka. In case of a problem with any of these components, IBM will investigate, identify, and provide a fix when possible. Where the fix applies to an open source component, IBM will work with the open source community to contribute the fix to the open source project as appropriate.
If you encounter client-side issues when using Event Streams with clients that are not provided by IBM, IBM can assist you in working with the open source community to resolve those issues.
IBM Event Streams uses the continuous delivery (CD) support model.
Ensure you stay current with the installation of CD update packages, as described in the continuous delivery life cycle policy. Product defect fixes and security updates are only available for the two most current CD update packages.
Important: To qualify for Extended Update Support (EUS), ensure you have the supported OpenShift version, and only use the listed Event Streams operator versions for the operand. For more information about operator requirements for EUS releases, see the Cloud Pak documentation. ↩ ↩2
