Percona Release Lifecycle Overview

Document Overview and General Policy

This document is intended to clarify the impact of the Percona Release Lifecycle Overview and the Percona Services Lifecycle Policy on software which Percona produces and the Linux-based Operating System platforms (OS) which we provide services and software builds for. The primary focus of the document is on the current lifecycle state of the Operating System and Percona software along with the compatibility between tool software and database software within the wider database ecosystem. Our general policy is that we try to match our end of life dates for Operating Systems to the upstream vendor and for software Percona produces based on upstream software, we match the upstream software’s end of life dates.

Operating System and Software Lifecycle States

State Description Maximum Support Level
Active Actively releasing new builds Complete Support
Extended Support (ES) New builds only for critical bug fixes or security issues Break/Fix Support
End of Life (EOL) No new builds, existing downloads available Diagnostic or Advisory Support
Not Available (NA) Builds were never available on this platform Unsupported

Operating System (OS) Support

We build and support our products on Debian Linux, Ubuntu Server LTS and Oracle Linux assuming its compatibility with Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL), and several of RHEL derivatives: AlmaLinux, Rocky Linux with their versions equal to corresponding Oracle Linux releases. These Operating Systems are provided with new package builds as needed during their Active period and when the Operating System has reached End of Life we stop providing new packages but will continue providing downloads of the existing packages. As much as possible, we align our Operating System End of Life dates with the upstream vendor of that Operating System. During the Extended Support period, new builds will continue to be provided as-needed for critical bug fixes, but are available only for subscribers via web download and will not be pushed into the repositories.

Important note: In June 2023 RedHat’s position on allowing free 100%-RHEL-compatible distributions has changed, which you can read about in the following blog posts and the follow ups. As a consequence of this move the future releases of RHEL, AlmaLinux, Oracle Linux and Rocky Linux may not be 100% inter-compatible. Given Percona is not in position to guarantee such a compatibility we may be eventually forced to change our support statements related to supportability of Percona software on these Operating Systems. We will continue to closely observe the market dynamics and react to the requests accordingly, potentially by providing dedicated releases for Red Hat Enterprise Linux, AlmaLinux, Rocky Linux and other Operating Systems.

A note on 32-bit binary builds: In 2018, Percona has taken the decision that we will no longer be offering 32-bit binaries for new Operating Systems or new major releases of our software. We completely discontinued building 32-bit binaries of our products after Q1 2022.

Unless otherwise noted Percona software is built on AMD/Intel x64 architecture.

As always, we reserve the right to add or remove support for Operating Systems or to change these policies in the future.

MySQL Software

This table was updated in August 2025.

Based on the low adoption and applicability of MySQL 8.1, 8.2, and 8.3, we have decided not to release Percona software for MySQL for Innovation Releases 9.0 to 9.6 inclusive.  Please see: No MySQL 9.x Innovation Releases from Percona

These Operating Systems are only provided with 64-bit packages. Any Operating System not listed is considered to be unsupported, per our Support Policies.

The next major version of Percona software for MySQL will be 9.7 LTS. In the meantime, we continue to release bug fixes and feature improvements in the 8.0.x and 8.4.x minor versions.

Products: Percona Distribution for MySQL (PDMySQL), Percona Server for MySQL (PS), Percona XtraBackup (PXB), and Percona XtraDB Cluster (PXC)

  1. We support packages for AMD64 and, in addition, we provide ARM64 packages.
  2. The support for the 5.7 version ended in November 2023 (for both Percona Server for MySQL and the community edition). Percona provides paid support through our Post EOL MySQL 5.7 Support – Not ready to give up MySQL 5.7
  3. We provide customer support for the following Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) clones: Oracle Linux, Rocky Linux, and Alma Linux. Our support aligns with RHEL’s End-of-Life (EOL) date for all clones. This means that when RHEL reaches EOL for a major version, we discontinue support for that version across all clones, regardless of whether a specific clone extends its support period (for example., Rocky Linux adds an extra month).
  4. We provide customer support for Amazon Linux 2023 in versions 8.0 and 8.4 for both AMD64 and ARM64 versions of Amazon Linux 2023 for the Pro builds of Percona Server for MySQL, Percona XtraDB Cluster, and Percona XtraBackup.

MongoDB Software

Based on the low adoption and applicability of Percona Distribution for MongoDB, we have decided not to release Percona Distribution for MongoDB 8.0.

Products: Percona Server for MongoDB (PSMDB), Percona Backup for MongoDB (PBM) and Percona Link for MongoDB (PLM).

Important notes

*ARM64 compatibility: PMM Server can run in Compatibility mode on ARM64 architecture. PMM supports monitoring databases on both AMD64 and ARM64 architectures across supported operating systems.

**MySQL 5.7 End of Support: Support for MySQL 5.7 (both Percona Server for MySQL and the Community Edition) ended in November 2023. However, Percona offers paid support through our Post EOL MySQL 5.7 Support – Not ready to give up MySQL 5.7?

***PostgreSQL 12: Although cloud providers still support PostgreSQL 12, it has reached end-of-life (EOL) in the community and is not supported by Percona. For this reason, PostgreSQL 12 and its variants are also excluded from support on other platforms.

PMM 2 support strategy
  • PMM 2.x is in maintenance mode and will receive only Critical and High severity security fixes until official end-of-life.
  • PMM 2 will continue to support all operating systems and database versions released before January 31, 2025.
  • For newer OS and database versions released after this date, upgrade to PMM v3 for continued support and compatibility.

Software Lifecycle

Overview

For Percona Software, we continue providing builds for the last three (3) major releases of Database Software and the last two (2) major releases of Tools on active Operating Systems. The most recent two (2) major Database Software releases will be in Active state, the third major release after is in Extended Support, and anything older will be EOL. Once a Percona-provided Software becomes EOL, we will continue providing services for it under the conditions of our Percona Services Lifecycle Policy, however there will be no bug fixes, new builds or new packages, and our recommend advice is to upgrade if you encounter issues.

For software that Percona bases on an upstream build, we match the upstream EOL dates. For example, Percona Server for MySQL is based on Oracle MySQL, and we will match the upstream EOL dates.

  1. Specifically for Percona Server for MongoDB and Percona Server for MySQL we will align the end of life dates directly with the upstream software (MongoDB and Oracle MySQL) respectively.
  2. While Percona XtraDB Cluster is affected by our general policy, a decision was made to end of life PXC 5.5 early due to the fact it was our first major release of PXC and there have been very significant improvements to stability in later releases.
  3. MongoDB upstream does not have the concept of Extended Support, so neither do we. We EOL at the same time as MongoDB. See https://www.mongodb.com/support-policy for their EOL
  4. PostgreSQL upstream does not have the concept of Extended Support of End of Life, they note the date of Final Release. Thus we do not have Extended Support and note the EOL date on the date of the Final Release for that version as found at https://www.postgresql.org/support/versioning/
  5. Operational support is provided for the last 5 minor versions. Customers will get complete support for the latest minor version. Bug fixes and improvements are not backported to older minor versions.

Compatibility Commitment for Tools

While we continue offering services for EOL database software and Operating Systems, we only commit to providing backwards compatibility within our tools for Active and Extended Support software. This, for example means that some while EOL database software must still be supported, it may be done using older versions of tools. We do not guarantee that the latest release of a tools software will support EOL database software even if it exists on Active Operating Systems. For example, while Percona Toolkit 3.0 does support Percona Server 5.1, there is no strict requirement that it continue doing so in the next release.
