As per official [MongoDB Software Lifecycle Schedules](https://www.mongodb.com/support-policy/lifecycles), MongoDB 4.0 is going End of Life in April 2022. At Percona we are going to follow the same schedule, which means that starting April 2022:

- No new versions are going to be released for [Percona Server for MongoDB](https://www.percona.com/software/mongodb/percona-server-for-mongodb) 4.0 and [Percona Distribution for MongoDB](https://www.percona.com/software/mongodb) 4.0 after April 2022. This also means no more security fixes will be provided.
- New releases of [Percona Distribution for MongoDB Operator](https://www.percona.com/doc/kubernetes-operator-for-psmongodb/index.html) and [Percona Backup for MongoDB](https://www.percona.com/software/mongodb/percona-backup-for-mongodb) will not be tested against version 4.0 of MongoDB and corresponding Percona software.

Our support team will continue to provide operational support (bug fixes and software builds will no longer be generated) for 4.0 even after April 2022, but we strongly encourage our users and customers to prepare for the upgrade beforehand. At the time of writing this blog post, the recommended version to upgrade to is Percona Server for MongoDB [4.2.17-17](https://docs.percona.com/percona-server-for-mongodb/4.2/release_notes/4.2.17-17.html). Please read [this how-to](https://docs.percona.com/percona-server-for-mongodb/4.2/install/upgrade-from-40.html) on how to perform a major version upgrade from 4.0 to 4.2.

If you need assistance with the upgrade, please get in touch with us by raising a support ticket, [contacting our sales team](https://www.percona.com/about-percona/contact) or raising a topic on this forum.
