Q: What is included in Spring support? If I have questions about how to use a Spring project, is it considered as support?
A: When building Spring applications, if you encounter software errors or runtime exceptions outside the scope of your business logic or customizations, submit it for review and evaluation by the support team. Likewise, if you run into defects, send the details, and our support engineers will evaluate the behavior. However, we recommend StackOverflow and the project's Gitter channels for best practices on Spring usage.
Q: Are VMware Spring Runtime entitlements exchangeable?
A: VMware Spring Runtime can be purchased either as vCPU core or Kubernetes pod packs. All the entitlements in the VMware Spring Runtime are exchangeable within the purchased vCPU/pod packs.
