Introducing RHEL9-Certified Builds for Percona MySQL: Ensure Maximum Compatibility and Compliance

Historically, Percona has been providing our customers with enterprise-grade solutions for MySQL that meet the highest standards of compatibility and compliance. To follow this commitment, Percona now offers RHEL9-certified builds for the users of Percona software for MySQL. These builds have been rigorously tested and are available as rpm packages, ensuring seamless integration with your RHEL environments.

Available products and versions

Our RHEL9-certified builds cover all minor 8.0.x versions of the following products:

• Percona Server for MySQL – A drop-in replacement for MySQL Community that provides better performance, more scalability, and enhanced security features. It is ideal for those that need a synchronous replication like Group Replication.
• Percona XtraDB Cluster – A high availability clustering solution for MySQL in case you need a multi-master set-up based on Galera.
• Percona XtraBackup – A complete and open source online backup solution for all versions of MySQL.

We recommend using the repositories that Percona provides to simplify the installation process. Alternatively, go to the Percona Download page, choose the product (Percona Server for MySQL in my case), choose any minor 8 version, then select Red Hat Enterprise Linux/CentOS, Oracle Linux 9 as a platform, and finally, click on the ‘Download all packages’ at the bottom of the list.

Why this matters to you

For organizations standardizing RHEL as their enterprise software platform, using RHEL-certified builds is essential for maintaining reliable and compliant IT environments. Running RHEL-certified MySQL by Percona has a few extra advantages:

• Guaranteed 100% compatibility with RHEL to avoid potential integration issues.
• RHEL certification means that Percona builds for MySQL meet the security and compliance requirements set by Red Hat, a critical factor for industries governed by strict regulations.
• Unlike other MySQL versions that require lock-in agreements for advanced features, Percona software for MySQL provides enterprise-grade functionality with the flexibility to choose your deployment model.
