Release Lifecycle
MySQL Software

This table was updated in November 2026.

Percona’s entry into the MySQL 9.x line is 9.7 LTS. Please see: No MySQL 9.x Innovation Releases from Percona.

Supported Operating Systems and platforms are provided only as 64-bit packages (AMD64 and ARM64). Any OS or platform not listed is considered unsupported, per our Support Policies.

Percona Server for MySQL 9.7 LTS and Percona Distribution for MySQL 9.7 are generally available. We continue to release bug fixes and improvements for both 9.7.x and 8.4.x. Percona XtraBackup 9.7 and Percona XtraDB Cluster 9.7 will be added to this matrix when they reach GA.

Percona Server for MySQL 8.0 has reached End of Life (EOL). Subsequent fixes for MySQL 8.0 are delivered as part of MySQL 8.0 Post-EOL Support from Percona, available to customers.

Note: Operating system lifecycle dates are defined by the OS vendor. The dates listed in the Percona Support EOL column represent the last day that Percona officially supports the listed product/version on that OS. The Percona EOL Date timeline may differ from vendor's own end-of-life dates. For frozen baselines of end-of-life releases, see EOL releases (frozen baseline).

  1. Support for MySQL 5.7 (Percona Server for MySQL and community MySQL) ended in October 2023. A paid Post EOL MySQL 5.7 Support support contract is required for continued availability.
  2. Support and testing were expanded to include Rocky Linux and Oracle Linux. Support for Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) clones, including Oracle Linux and AlmaLinux, was aligned with the official RHEL End-of-Life (EOL) schedule. When RHEL reaches EOL for a major version, support for that version is discontinued across all clones, regardless of any extended support periods offered by specific distributions.

EOL releases (frozen baseline)

The releases listed below have reached end-of-life. They are no longer published to the public repository and have been moved to a private repository, where they remain available to customers with an active post-EOL support contract. Because these releases are frozen, they are only built and validated against the final operating-system baseline that was supported at EOL — no new operating systems will be added, and custom builds are produced only on request for specific customers.

Final supported OS baseline per EOL product (AMD64 only; Percona Server for MySQL 8.0.x also supports ARM64):
  • Percona Server for MySQL 5.6.x: EOL since 01-Feb-2021; paid Post-EOL support only
  • Percona Server for MySQL 5.7.x: EOL since 01-Oct-2023; paid Post-EOL support only. Final OS baseline: RHEL 7, RHEL 8, RHEL 9, Rocky Linux 8, Amazon Linux 2, Ubuntu 20.04 LTS, Ubuntu 22.04 LTS, Debian 10, Debian 11, Debian 12

Percona Distribution for MySQL 8.0.x has reached end-of-life as of 01-Apr-2026. It is no longer published to the public repository and has been moved to the private repository, where it remains available to customers with an active post-EOL support contract.

MySQL 5.7 has additionally been verified on Rocky Linux 8 as part of the automated package-testing suite, ensuring consistent validation across all post-EOL release activity on this baseline.
