10.0 Core

• 15th December 2023

:::caution ⚠️ This core update will replace the mysqlcd container (version 8.0.28) on each of your database servers with a new mySQL container running version 8.0.35.

This will happen one server at a time after initiating the core update through the Enhance UI. Your databases will be offline whilst the new MySQL starts which shouldn’t take more than a few seconds. Since this involves a MySQL upgrade, you should always check the integrity of your backups first. If you experience any problems, please send a support ticket.

The update relies on updating the appcd package on each server. If you have a large cluster, you can improve the speed of the core update by pre-emptively updating appcd on each server, through the ui (from the application role settings) or through the command line using apt.

This update is not compatible with Ubuntu 20.04. If you have any servers running Ubuntu 20.04, please update to 22.04 by running “do-release-upgrade” before installing this Enhance update. :::
