Percona vs perconalab docker hub

MySQL & MariaDB Percona XtraDB Cluster 8.x

Hi community,
While I was updating our percona operator I discovered that there are two images from two different repos of Percona XtraDB Cluster operator:

which one shall we use?

Further, we use these images:

  • percona/percona-xtradb-cluster-operator:1.10.0-pxc8.0.25-backup
  • percona/percona-xtradb-cluster-operator:1.11.0-logcollector
  • percona/percona-xtradb-cluster-operator:1.11.0-haproxy

which i cannot find anywhere in the new tags released, I would expect an image name like respectively:

  • percona/percona-xtradb-cluster-operator:1.16.1-pxc8.0.35-backup
    but this does not exist.

For the second, there is an image called percona/percona-xtradb-cluster-operator:1.16.1-logcollector-fluentbit3.2.2 which I’m not sure if it’s retrocompatible with the version 1.11.0 of logcollector.

For the third the latest image is the 1.14.1-haproxy. Is this compatible with the whole 1.16.1 version of other images?

What shall we use?

Hello @sempronio18,
I would not use perconalabs, that is our “public beta” testing repo.

Hello @sempronio18 ,

The list of the latest certified images is available in our docs page at Percona certified images - Percona Operator for MySQL . Starting from 1.15.0 the official images of haproxy from percona/haproxy dockerhub are used in operators. The supported versions for respective releases can be found in Release Notes at Release notes index - Percona Operator for MySQL .

Please note that only the incremental update to a nearest version of the Operator is supported (for example, update from 1.4.0 to 1.5.0). To update to a newer version, which differs from the current version by more than one, make several incremental updates sequentially.
You can check our update instruction at Upgrade Database and Operator - Percona Operator for MySQL .

Hi @eleonora.zinchenko, we (@sempronio18 and me) are using Percona deployed aside the actual DB in the same namespace (-> #N DBs = #N Operators) from the percona docker images. What’s the problem in using straightly a more recent version of the operator and CR? I’m not getting the point of the risk here of jumping directly to the latest. Could you advise? Many thanks!
