TuxCare keeps you ahead of threats by proactively tracking and patching new CVEs impacting MySQL 8.0
MySQL 8.0 reached end of life on April 30, 2026. Oracle no longer provides community security updates, meaning you are now forced to risk an in-place upgrade or leave your data vulnerable.
You don't have to upgrade. TuxCare steps in to track and patch new CVEs found after April 30th—all within our rapid SLA—giving you true MySQL 8.0 LTS support for as long as you need it.
Keep Running. Skip the Risks.
Upgrading a legacy MySQL deployment to 8.4 is time-consuming and risky, often requiring compatibility checks, client/connector updates, configuration changes, and extensive regression testing.
TuxCare’s ELS keeps your EOL MySQL environments secure, fully compliant (HIPAA, SOC2, PCI-DSS), and stable—eliminating the need for a forced migration just to keep your databases patched.
