GaussDB Version Policies
GaussDB is an enterprise-grade relational database from Huawei. It uses a distributed architecture and features hybrid transactional/analytical processing (HTAP) for high performance and intra-city cross-AZ deployment for zero data loss. GaussDB supports petabytes of storage, with more than 1,000 nodes supported per DB instance. This section describes the lifecycle and policies of GaussDB versions.
GaussDB Engine Version Description
GaussDB uses version numbers in dot-decimal notation. The format is A.BCD, where:
- A: A designates major versions. Generally, a major version provides architecture upgrades and major new features.
- BCD: The first digit (B) indicates a release that provides major feature updates, and the last two digits (C and D) indicate progressively more minor releases that provide important updates.

- Release: when a version was released on Huawei Cloud. Generally, it refers to when it was released for commercial use.
- EOM: End of Marketing, which is when the sales and deployment of a cloud service version are stopped. After this time, the cloud service version is no longer deployed on the live network.
- EOFS: End of Full Support. When EOFS is reached, Huawei Cloud stops fixing newly found defects or providing any new patches for the particular version. Huawei Cloud will conduct root cause analysis for the defects found, but will not fix them until the next version. However, Huawei Cloud will still fix defects and level-1 and level-2 vulnerabilities before EOS.
- EOS: End of Service & Support. When EOS is reached, Huawei Cloud stops providing any technical service or support for the particular version, including locating problems and fixing defects. Problems identified can only be solved through version upgrades. Customers still must comply with Huawei Cloud's lifecycle policy and upgrade software versions in a timely manner.
