Chapter 1. Extensions overview
1.1. Support level definitions
New features, services, and components go through a number of support levels before inclusion in Camel Extensions for Quarkus as fully supported for production use. This is to ensure the right balance between providing the enterprise stability expected of our offerings with the need to allow our customers and partners to experiment with new Camel Extensions for Quarkus technologies while providing feedback to help guide future development activities.
| Type | Description |
|---|---|
| Community Support | As part of Red Hat’s commitment to upstream first, integration of new extensions into our Camel Extensions for Quarkus distribution begins in the upstream community. While these extensions have been tested and documented upstream, we have not reviewed the maturity of these extensions and they may not be formally supported by Red Hat in future product releases. Note Community extensions are listed on the extensions reference page of the Camel Quarkus community project. |
| Technology Preview | Technology Preview features provide early access to upcoming product innovations, enabling you to test functionality and provide feedback during the development process. However, these features are not fully supported under Red Hat Subscription Level Agreements, may not be functionally complete, and are not intended for production use. As Red Hat considers making future iterations of Technology Preview features generally available, we will attempt to resolve any issues that customers experience when using these features. |
| Production Support | Production Support extensions are shipped in a formal Red Hat release and are fully supported. There are no documentation gaps and extensions have been tested on all supported configurations. |
