The Customer has the possibility of subscribing to different levels of management to for a single Project, however:

  • For the managed database and managed middleware management levels, the Customer is required to subscribe to the managed OS management level as a pre-requisite.
  • For the managed container level, the Customer is required to subscribe to the managed Kubernetes level as a pre-requisite.
  • At the Managed Application management level, the Customer is required to subscribe to the managed OS management level, the managed database and managed middleware management levels, or to the managed container management level and the managed Kubernetes with CaasCad level, as the application requires that the related components be implemented in order to function.

Each of the Managed Tenant’s virtual servers (VM) may have one of the 4 possible management levels. The management level applies to the server in its entirety; different software cannot be hosted at different management levels on a single server.

 

Each of the Managed Tenant’s Kubernetes cluster may have one of the 3 possible management levels (managed Kubernetes, managed container, managed application on containers).

 

The Customer chooses at the time of ordering a support level among the two available (Standard, Premium) that applies to the entire Service. If the Customer wishes to benefit from different levels of support, he must subscribe to several Services, which will be deployed on separate Managed Tenants.
