Support matrix
Red Hat OpenShift platforms
| Event Streams operand version | Operator version | Strimzi release included | Kafka version shipped | Container platform | Systems | Data storage |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 10.0.0 | 2.0.0 | 0.18.0 | 2.5.0 | Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform - 4.3.22 or later - 4.4.4 or later - 4.5.4 or later |
- Linux® 64-bit (x86_64) systems - Microsoft Azure (IaaS) - Amazon Web Services (IaaS) |
If you want to set up persistent storage, Event Streams requires block storage formatted by Kubernetes as ext4. 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 |

Support policy
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.
Continuous Delivery (CD) support model
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.
