FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Practical answers before deployment

Understand connectivity, backups, limitations, and operating responsibilities before selecting a SKU.

Is free MySQL hosting available?

Yes. The free MySQL SKU provides a zero-priced base configuration for development and testing. Additional SSD and backup capacity remain billable.

Which MySQL version is available?

The current documented service uses MySQL 8. The portal SKU description remains authoritative at deployment time.

Does MySQL include point-in-time recovery?

The current managed MySQL service restores completed backup points and does not provide the PostgreSQL-style managed PITR described for PostgreSQL.

How are MySQL backups created?

Eligible MySQL SKUs use an application-aware XtraBackup-compatible workflow and xbcloud-style streaming to encrypted S3-compatible backup storage, subject to image and version compatibility.

Is MySQL highly available?

The current public MySQL SKU is a single instance and does not include an automatic primary-replica pair. Enterprise replication requirements can be reviewed separately.

Can access be restricted?

Use the hostname and port shown by the portal, apply supported IP allowlists, use native TLS, and create narrowly scoped application users instead of broad administrative credentials.
