Red Hat SummitChapter 6. Support
6.1. Support Overview
Red Hat and Microsoft are committed to providing excellent support for .NET Core and are working together to resolve any problems that come up from either side. At a high level, Red Hat supports the installation, configuration, and running of the .NET Core component in Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL). If it is a runtime issue, we are responsible for getting the customer an answer. Red Hat can also provide "commercially reasonable" support for issues we can help with, for instance, NuGet access problems, permissions issues, firewalls, and application questions that we might know the answer to. If it is a defect or vulnerability in .NET Core, we let Microsoft know about it.
.NET Core 2.2 is supported on RHEL 7 and Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform versions 3.3 and later.
See .NET Core Life Cycle for information about the .NET Core support policy
6.2. Contact Options
There are a couple of ways you can get support, depending on how you are using .NET Core.
- If you are using .NET Core on-premise, you can contact either Red Hat Support or Microsoft directly.
- If you are using .NET Core in Microsoft Azure, you can contact either Red Hat Support or Azure Support to receive Integrated Support.
Integrated Support is a collaborative support agreement between Red Hat and Microsoft. Customers using Red Hat products in Microsoft Azure are mutual customers, so both companies are united to provide the best troubleshooting and support experience possible.
6.3. Frequently Asked Questions
Here are four of the most common support questions for Integrated Support.
When do I access Integrated Support?
You can engage Red Hat Support directly. If the Red Hat Support Engineer assigned to your case needs assistance from Microsoft, the Red Hat Support Engineer will collaborate with Microsoft directly without any action required from you. Likewise on the Microsoft side, they have a process for directly collaborating with Red Hat Support Engineers.
What happens after I file a support case?
Once the Red Hat support case has been created, a Red Hat Support Engineer will be assigned to the case and begin collaborating on the issue with you and your Microsoft Support Engineer. You should expect a response to the issue based on Red Hat’s Production Support Service Level Agreement.
What if I need further assistance?
Contact Red Hat Support for assistance in creating your case or with any questions related to this process. You can view any of your open cases here.
How do I engage Microsoft for support for an Azure platform issue?
If you have support from Microsoft, you can open a case using whatever process you typically would follow. If you do not have support with Microsoft, you can always get support from Microsoft Support.
