MariaDB v1 How-Tos

Learn how to use MariaDB in the DCD. This section provides step-by-step guides to help you effectively manage your MariaDB instances within the DCD.

Important:

• MariaDB v2 is available in MariaDB Long-Term Support (LTS) versions, such as 10.6, 10.11, 11.4, 11.8, or 12.3. We recommend using 10.11 and above, as MariaDB 10.6 has reached End of Life (EOL).
• Use MariaDB v2 to create clusters using the DCD or the API.
• MariaDB v1 has officially reached End of Life (EOL) and all legacy v1 clusters have been decommissioned effective August 31, 2026.
• The migration from v1 to v2 runs automatically with zero downtime. Your database stays fully functional throughout the process, and your existing connection strings continue to work without changes.
