## How to file issues and get help  

### Azure support tickets

Customers with an [Azure support plan](https://azure.microsoft.com/support/options/) can open an [Azure support ticket](https://azure.microsoft.com/support/create-ticket/).
**We recommend this option if your problem requires immediate attention.**

### GitHub issues

We use [GitHub Issues](https://github.com/Azure/azure-sdk-for-java/issues/new/choose) to track bugs, questions, and feature requests.
GitHub issues are free, but **response time is not guaranteed.** See [GitHub issues support process](https://devblogs.microsoft.com/azure-sdk/github-issue-support-process/) for more details.
