The End Of Support date for Ubuntu 16.04 LTS is coming soon. According to the Ubuntu Release Life Cycle, it will be at the end of April 2021. With this announcement comes some implications to support for Percona software running on these operating systems.
So we will no longer be producing new packages and binary builds for Ubuntu 16.04.
We generally align our platform end of life/support dates with those of the upstream platform vendor. The platform end of life/support dates are published in advance on our website on the Percona Software support life cycle page
According to our policies, Percona will continue to provide operational support for your databases on Ubuntu 16.04. However, we will be unable to provide any bug fixes, builds, or OS-level assistance if you encounter an issue outside the database itself.
Each platform vendor has a supported migration or upgrade path to their next major release. Please reach out to us if you need assistance in migrating your database to your vendor’s supported platform – Percona will be happy to assist you.
