I want to setup up a local Percon SLAVE talking to a AWS MySQL Community MASTER IS THIS POSSIBLE ? I don’t see why not ? or I have to find a MySQL Communit server My goal is to transfer MySQL AWS data to Local Percona Db Make it a slave to AWS and let it replicate until when we are ready to cut over then Make Percona Slave new MASTER and DELETE AWS thx SLAVE : mysql\> show variables like ‘%vers%’ ; ±--------------------------±-----------------------------------------------------+ | Variable\_name | Value | ±--------------------------±-----------------------------------------------------+ | innodb\_version | 5.6.29-76.2 | | protocol\_version | 10 | | slave\_type\_conversions | | | thread\_pool\_oversubscribe | 3 | | version | 5.6.29-76.2-log | | version\_comment | Percona Server (GPL), Release 76.2, Revision ddf26fe | | version\_compile\_machine | x86\_64 | | version\_compile\_os | Linux | ±--------------------------±-----------------------------------------------------+ 8 rows in set (0.00 sec) MASTER : mysql\> show variables like ‘%vers%’ ; ±------------------------±-----------------------------+ | Variable\_name | Value | ±------------------------±-----------------------------+ | innodb\_version | 5.6.19 | | protocol\_version | 10 | | slave\_type\_conversions | | | version | 5.6.19-log | | version\_comment | MySQL Community Server (GPL) | | version\_compile\_machine | x86\_64 | | version\_compile\_os | Linux | ±------------------------±-----------------------------+ 7 rows in set (0.02 sec) ---

Yes, it can. Make sure to check the MySQL 5.6 release notes from 5.6.19 to 5.6.29 to see if there are any possible incompatibilities, though I doubt there is any. ---

I’d like to ask about the converse: would it be possible for a Percona 5.6 Master to replicate to a MySQL 5.6 Slave? Thank you ---

Yes, it is possible. Do note that there are cases that point versions would matter. Meaning for example a 5.6.30 master replicating on 5.6.12 slave _might_ have a problem, I am not saying there will be but you need to test. You will need to review release notes if there are changes in how replication works between these versions.
