MySQL 5.7 Post-EOL Support by Percona

MySQL 5.7 reached End of Life (EOL) in October 2023, leaving organizations running on AWS at risk if they continue using this version without support. For many businesses, immediate migrations or upgrades are not always feasible due to:

• Large, complex server fleets on Amazon EC2 that require extensive planning and coordination.

• Application dependencies that may not migrate smoothly to newer MySQL versions within the AWS environment.

• Concerns about stability, security, and the operational impact of unsupported software.

Running unsupported MySQL 5.7 on AWS introduces vulnerabilities, compliance risks, and potential operational instability. Percona’s Post-EOL support for MySQL 5.7 offers up to three years of expert-engineered coverage after the official EOL date. With Percona support, you can maintain your MySQL environment securely, reduce downtime, and gain the time needed to plan your migration to a newer, supported database version — all while controlling costs and maintaining compliance.

Percona’s vendor-neutral, open source-first approach ensures fast, deep technical assistance and long-term value for your AWS deployments. Partner with us to extend your MySQL 5.7 lifecycle confidently and securely.
