5 Support Statement for SUSE Cloud Application Platform

To receive support, you need an appropriate subscription with SUSE. For more information, see https://www.suse.com/support/?id=SUSE_Cloud_Application_Platform.

The following definitions apply:

5.1 Version Support

Technical Support and Troubleshooting (L1 - L2)

Current and previous major versions (n-1). For example, SUSE will provide technical support and troubleshooting for versions 1.0, 1.1, 1.2, 1.3 (and all 2.x point releases) until the release of 3.0.

Patches and updates (L3)

On the latest or last minor release of each major release. For example, SUSE will provide patches and updates for 1.3 (and 2.latest) until the release of 3.0.

SUSE Cloud Application Platform closely follows upstream Cloud Foundry releases which may implement fixes and changes which are not backwards compatible with previous releases. SUSE will backport patches for critical bugs and security issues on a best efforts basis.

5.2 Platform Support

SUSE Cloud Application Platform is fully supported on Amazon EKS, Microsoft Azure AKS and Google GKE. Each release is tested by SUSE Cloud Application Platform QA on these platforms.

SUSE Cloud Application Platform is fully supported on SUSE CaaS Platform, wherever it happens to be installed. If SUSE CaaS Platform is supported on a particular cloud service provider (CSP), the customer can get support for SUSE Cloud Application Platform in that context.

SUSE can provide support for SUSE Cloud Application Platform on 3rd party/generic Kubernetes on a case-by-case basis provided:

  1. The Kubernetes cluster satisfies the Requirements listed here at https://documentation.suse.com/suse-cap/2.0.1/html/cap-guides/cha-cap-depl-kube-requirements.html#sec-cap-changes-kube-reqs.

  2. The kube-ready-state-check.sh script has been run on the target Kubernetes cluster and does not show any configuration problems.

  3. A SUSE Services or Sales Engineer has verified that SUSE Cloud Application Platform works correctly on the target Kubernetes cluster.

5.3 Technology Previews

Technology previews are packages, stacks, or features delivered by SUSE to provide glimpses into upcoming innovations. The previews are included for your convenience to give you the chance to test new technologies within your environment. We would appreciate your feedback! If you test a technology preview, please contact your SUSE representative and let them know about your experience and use cases. Your input is helpful for future development.

However, technology previews come with the following limitations:

  • Technology previews are still in development. Therefore, they may be functionally incomplete, unstable, or in other ways not suitable for production use.

  • Technology previews are not supported.

  • Details and functionality of technology previews are subject to change. As a result, upgrading to subsequent releases of a technology preview may be impossible and require a fresh installation.

  • Technology previews can be dropped at any time. For example, if SUSE discovers that a preview does not meet the customer or market needs, or does not prove to comply with enterprise standards. SUSE does not commit to providing a supported version of such technologies in the future.

For an overview of technology previews shipped with your product, see the release notes at https://www.suse.com/releasenotes/.
