Tanzu RabbitMQ Support

24/7 Tanzu RabbitMQ Support with a 15-Minute Emergency SLA

AceMQ is the number one RabbitMQ partner globally with direct access to the RabbitMQ core team, and Broadcom's VMware Expert Advantage Partner of the Year for the Americas, 2025. We support Tanzu RabbitMQ on both the Kubernetes and OVA deployment models — Cluster Operator reconcile loops, quorum queues short of members, Erlang distribution broken by cert rotation, and the entitlement problems that block your upgrade.

Escalation Path

Your first hour of a Tanzu RabbitMQ outage

Most vendors publish an SLA number. This is what actually happens, minute by minute, when you page a senior AceMQ engineer.

T+0

You page us

Phone, email, or Slack — any channel reaches the on-call senior engineer directly. No web form, no tier-1 queue.

T+15

Named engineer live

A senior engineer who already knows your environment joins a live bridge. Zero cold-start, no re-explaining your topology.

T+30

Root cause isolated

Direct broker access, log and metric review, and a working hypothesis with a rollback plan before we touch anything.

Post

Written RCA

Documented root cause, the fix applied, and the prevention steps — delivered after every P1, not just when asked.

Response Times

SLA tiers, contractually guaranteed

Every tier reaches a senior Tanzu RabbitMQ engineer. There is no tier-1 triage layer to get through.

P1 — Emergency
15 min

Production down, messages not flowing, cluster or broker failure

P2 — Critical
1 hour

Severe degradation, rising error rates, approaching capacity limits

P3 — High
4 hours

Performance issues, configuration problems, non-critical failures

P4 — Standard
Next day

Questions, guidance, best practices, non-urgent improvements

Incident Triage

Tanzu RabbitMQ problems we fix every week

These are real symptoms from real Tanzu RabbitMQ production environments — and the first thing our engineers check when one comes in.

Cluster Operator stuck in a reconcile loop, cluster never reaches ready
What we check firstOperator logs against the CRD version and the StatefulSet's current spec. An immutable field edited on the RabbitmqCluster resource, or an operator upgraded ahead of its CRDs, makes reconcile retry forever while the cluster sits partially rolled.
Typical resolution1-3 hours
Quorum queue running with fewer members than expected after node replacement
What we check firstThe queue's member list against current cluster membership. Quorum queue membership does not follow node replacement automatically — a replaced node leaves the queue on two of three members, still writable and one failure away from losing quorum entirely.
Typical resolutionUnder 2 hours
Nodes won't rejoin after a cert-manager certificate rotation
What we check firstWhether the Erlang distribution certificates rotated without the nodes reloading them, and whether the new cert's SANs still cover the pod DNS names. Inter-node TLS fails independently of client TLS, so clients keep connecting while the cluster itself sits partitioned.
Typical resolution2-4 hours
Upgrade blocked — Broadcom portal says you aren't entitled
What we check firstWhich site account the Tanzu RabbitMQ entitlement landed on after the portal migration. Perpetual VMware entitlements, subscription SKUs, and support contracts routinely split across accounts, so the engineer doing the download sees no entitlement to a product you own.
Typical resolutionSame day
Memory alarm triggered, publishers blocked, memory usage looks moderate
What we check firstThe high-watermark against the container or VM limit rather than the host, plus binary heap and mailbox growth. On Kubernetes the default watermark calculated from node memory is meaningless against a pod limit, and a slow consumer with large messages pins binaries long after the queue drains.
Typical resolutionUnder 1 hour
Rolling upgrade between Tanzu RabbitMQ versions stalls mid-flight
What we check firstThe supported upgrade path and feature-flag state. RabbitMQ requires all mandatory feature flags enabled before moving major versions, and a mixed-version cluster where one node cannot enable a flag halts the rollout with nodes on both versions.
Typical resolution2-4 hours
Classic mirrored queues behaving unpredictably after migration to quorum
What we check firstWhether producer and consumer semantics were carried over unchanged. Quorum queues do not support the same priority, TTL, and lazy behaviors as mirrored queues, and applications that relied on those silently change behavior rather than erroring.
Typical resolutionSame day
Shovel or federation link flapping between foundations
What we check firstLink state, credential validity, and network path between sites. Expired credentials, a firewall dropping idle AMQP connections, and heartbeat settings tuned for a LAN are the three causes we see repeatedly on cross-site links.
Typical resolution1-3 hours

Resolution times reflect typical Tanzu RabbitMQ engagements under an active AceMQ support contract. Every P1 closes with a written root-cause analysis.

What's Included

Everything in your Tanzu RabbitMQ support contract

No add-on pricing for incidents. No per-ticket charges. One contract covers the whole surface.

Emergency Incident Response

Cluster partitioned, publishers blocked, or a node that won't rejoin. A senior RabbitMQ engineer joins a live bridge within 15 minutes with access to diagnose — not a ticket acknowledgement.

Root Cause Analysis

Every P1 closes with a written RCA: what failed, why, the fix applied, and the configuration, manifest, or client change that prevents recurrence. Delivered as standard, not on request.

Core Team & Broadcom Escalation

Direct access to the RabbitMQ core team plus partner-level escalation into Broadcom engineering. When an issue is a genuine defect rather than configuration, it goes upstream through a channel you do not have directly.

Queue Design & Performance Tuning

Quorum versus classic queue selection, prefetch and publisher-confirm strategy, memory watermarks against real container limits, and disk sizing for the write-ahead log under your actual message profile.

Licensing & Entitlement Resolution

Broadcom portal migrations, split site accounts, subscription conversions, and support contract mapping. We get the download and the entitlement working again instead of handing you a portal link.

Upgrade & Migration Support

Version upgrades with feature-flag sequencing, mirrored to quorum queue migration, OVA to Kubernetes moves, and migration between open-source and Tanzu RabbitMQ in either direction.

Anywhere You Run It

We support Tanzu RabbitMQ wherever it's deployed

Cloud, Kubernetes, bare metal, hybrid, and air-gapped — including environments where you can't give us outbound network access.

Why AceMQ

What you get that you don't get elsewhere

The #1 RabbitMQ Partner Globally

Direct access to the RabbitMQ core team. When an incident turns out to be a genuine broker defect — and occasionally it does — we escalate to the people who maintain the code rather than filing a ticket and waiting with you.

Broadcom Expert Advantage Partner of the Year

Americas, 2025. Our engineers hold current Broadcom certification across the Tanzu portfolio, and we escalate through partner channels on product defects and entitlement problems alike.

Named Engineers, Zero Cold Start

The same senior engineers stay on your account. They know your cluster size, your queue types, and your client libraries — so a P1 call starts with diagnosis, not twenty minutes of you explaining your topology.

No Tier-1 Triage Layer

You reach a senior RabbitMQ engineer directly by phone, email, or Slack. No help desk collecting information to pass along, and no escalation approval process standing between you and someone who can actually fix it.

Broker and Platform Together

Most Tanzu RabbitMQ incidents on Kubernetes have a platform cause and a broker symptom: a storage class that can't sustain the write-ahead log, a PodDisruptionBudget that permitted the drain that cost you quorum, a NetworkPolicy blocking Erlang distribution. We diagnose both layers.

Genuine Follow-the-Sun Coverage

Engineers across 26+ countries and every time zone. Your 3am cluster partition is someone's mid-afternoon — no overnight skeleton crew, no waiting for a region to wake up.
