Up to 10 years of security maintenance and support

Security and support for Charmed MySQL can be purchased with an Ubuntu Pro subscription.  An Ubuntu Pro subscription provides up to 10 years of security maintenance not only for MySQL server but also for some of the most popular MySQL plugins and tools, such as xtrabackup and audit logging. Customers can also opt for 24/7 or weekday support with Ubuntu Pro + Support. Conveniently, the subscription is priced per node, not per app. This means users can benefit from a complete portfolio of data solutions with a predictable pricing model.
