TaurusDB Version Release Policy

TaurusDB is an enterprise-grade cloud-native database fully compatible with MySQL. It decouples compute from storage and uses Huawei-developed Data Function Virtualization (DFV), which scales to up to 128 TB per instance. A failover can be complete within seconds. It provides the superior performance and high availability of a commercial database at the price of an open-source database.

This section describes the lifecycle and upgrade policy of each TaurusDB version.

Adopted by Huawei Cloud: The commercial version of TaurusDB has been fully verified and is stable and reliable. You can use this version in production environments while enjoying the service-level agreement (SLA) provided by TaurusDB.
End of Marketing (EOM): Once a TaurusDB version reaches its EOM, it is no longer possible to buy or create instances of that version.
End of Service (EOS): Once a TaurusDB version reaches its EOS, it is no longer possible to create instances of that version. Additionally, technical support for existing instances is no longer available, including new feature updates, vulnerability or bug fixing, patch updates, service ticket guidance, and online check. The TaurusDB SLA will no longer be valid for that version.
