Note: Product defect fixes and security updates are only available in the latest CD version, in line with the IBM’s continuous delivery lifecycle policy (for more information, see the Event Streams support lifecycle addendum. Ensure you stay current with the installation of the latest CD update packages.
| Event Streams version | Operator version | Operator channel | Kafka version shipped | Container platform | Systems | Data storage |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 11.1.3 | 3.1.3 | v3.1 | 3.2.3 | Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform versions (see support dates): - 4.11.0 or later fix levels - 4.10.0 or later fix levels - 4.9.0 or later fix levels - 4.8.0 or later fix levels Managed OpenShift services on cloud platforms (PaaS): - Red Hat OpenShift on IBM Cloud - Azure Red Hat OpenShift - Red Hat OpenShift Service on AWS OpenShift on cloud infrastructure (IaaS): - IBM Cloud - Microsoft Azure - Amazon Web Services |
- Linux on IBM Power Systems (ppc64le) - Linux 64-bit (x86_64) systems - Linux on IBM z13 (s390x) or later systems |
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 |

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.
