Maintenance Window
Overview
StreamNative Cloud performs regular maintenance to ensure the stability, performance, and security of the Pulsar cluster. During these periods, we perform updates, patches, and infrastructure improvements. This document outlines the process and best practices for managing maintenance window.
Note
Please note that only users enrolled in the Enterprise or Production support plan tier could configure the maintenance window to schedule the maintenance for your cluster. You can contact StreamNative sales to upgrade your support plan tier.
What changes do and don't respect maintenance policies
With maintenance window, you can control the timing of the following types of events:
- Regular Pulsar cluster maintenance, including the Pulsar version upgrade or add some new features. The impact of change should be minimal and clients can handle gracefully.
Other types of maintenance aren't dependent on maintenance policies:
- Infrastructure Pools maintenance, including the including control plane upgrades, data plane upgrades which may cause temporary disruption to your cluster.
- Underlying Cloud services, primarily compute, network, storage.
