Percona University Online has released a new free course, “MySQL 5.7 End of Life Options – Free Course at Percona University Online,” by Dave Stokes, Technical Evangelist at Percona.
Dave is the author of MySQL & JSON – A Practical Programming Guide. He started to work with MySQL from the 3.29 version and was a part of the MySQL Community Team for over a decade.
MySQL 5.7 reaches its End of Life in October 2023. The Era of MySQL 5.x will be over, and only MySQL 8.0 will be officially supported. Learn how to keep your database secure and performant after that date and what real options you have if you decide to upgrade or stay on the current version.
This course consists of eight short videos. Pass a brief quiz on Google Classroom afterward to receive a Certificate of Completion from Percona. The lesson list:
- Lesson 1: Introduction
- Lesson 2: What MySQL 5.7 EOL Really Means
- Lesson 3: What are the Real Upgrade Options?
- Lesson 4: Choosing Percona – Update to Enterprise Features at No Additional Cost
- Lesson 5: Upgrade Checker Part 1
- Lesson 6: Upgrade Checker Part 2
- Lesson 7: Upgrade Checker Part 3
- Lesson 8: Wrap Up
You can view the lessons directly on YouTube, but you’re eligible for the Certificate of Completion only when you complete the quiz on Google Classroom. You will need a Gmail account. If you join the class from Google Classroom directly, click “Join class” and enter the code of the class “xd36vr4”
