Percona XtraDB Cluster with MySQL is Not Supported by Amazon Linux 2023

MySQL & MariaDB Percona Server for MySQL 8.0

Hi,

I attempted to deploy Percona XtraDB Cluster (versions 8.0.36, 8.0.37, and 8.0.41) on Amazon Linux 2023. Unfortunately, the operating system appears to be unsupported for this installation, even though it is listed as supported in the official Percona support policy (https://www.percona.com/services/policies/percona-software-support-lifecycle#mysql).

We followed the installation steps provided in the official documentation (Install Percona XtraDB Cluster-based variant - Percona Distribution for MySQL), but encountered the following error:

Can anyone assist in resolving this issue or suggest a viable workaround?

Hello @kirankumar,
Make sure you are using the latest percona-release package, because AL 2023 is indeed supported.

# rpm -qa | grep percona-release
percona-release-1.0-30.noarch

# grep 2023 /usr/bin/percona-release
      if [[ ${OS_VER} == 2023 ]]; then
      if [[ ${OS_VER} == 2023 ]]; then
    if [[ ${OS_VER} == 2023 ]]; then
      sed -i 's/$releasever/2023/g' /etc/yum.repos.d/percona*.repo

Hello @matthewb,

Thanks for the response.

I followed the commands below to install, but encountered an error during the execution of the second command. Am I doing anything wrong?

Additionally, is there any way I can specifically install version PXC 8.0.37 on Amazon Linux 2023?

  1. sudo yum install https://repo.percona.com/yum/percona-release-latest.noarch.rpm
  2. sudo percona-release setup pxc-80
  3. sudo yum install percona-xtradb-cluster

Hi @kirankumar

Hi @matthewb , @Vadim_Yalovets,

We found the root cause of this issue which is the 2023 folder unavailable under this “Percona Repo”. While we notice that 2023 folder is available under experimental folder “Percona Repo”. Is it possible that there was mistake during the build under 2023 release.

Experimental and release folders screenshot attached. -

Packages are available beginning with Percona XtraDB Cluster 8.0.41-32 Pro for Amazon Linux 2023.

You may use packages from the experimental repository at your own risk, as they have not been tested by our QA team.
