The version policy of FPT MongoDB Enterprise is designed to ensure system stability, security, and long-term compatibility, while providing customers with the flexibility to upgrade based on their requirements. The service is built on MongoDB Enterprise and operated by FPT Cloud in accordance with enterprise-grade standards.
FPT MongoDB Enterprise applies version management based on the following principles:
FPT MongoDB Enterprise follows the versioning convention established by Mongo Inc.. The version structure typically consists of three components: major, minor and patch (Example: 8.0.19).
| Component | Description |
|---|---|
| Major | Significant changes in architecture or features, which may not be backward compatible. |
| Minor | Feature/release branch version. |
| Patch | Smaller updates, bug fixes, or security patches that are backward compatible. |
Users can view the exact version they are using for their database cluster directly on the Console Portal by checking the details of their database cluster.
Each version is managed according to a clear lifecycle consisting of the following phases: Preview (Beta), General Availability (GA), Deprecated (Dep.), and End of Support (EoS). FPT Cloud will provide advance notice of the end-of-support schedule so that customers can proactively plan their upgrades.
| Stage | Description |
|---|---|
| 1. Preview (Beta) | The version is in the testing phase and not guaranteed with SLA. Features may change or be removed at any time. Users can try it for evaluation, testing, or non-production environments. It is not recommended for production use. On Console Portal, Beta versions are displayed with the "Beta" tag. |
| 2. General Availability (GA) | The version is stable, production-ready, and officially supported with SLA. |
| 3. Deprecated (Dep.) | The version is no longer recommended for new deployments and is preparing to reach End of Support (EoS) soon. It still works for existing systems. This stage signals that support will end. On Console Portal, deprecated versions are displayed with the “Deprecated” or “Dep.” tag. |
| 4. End of Support (EoS) | The version is no longer supported. On Console Portal, Beta versions are displayed with the "EoS" tag. |
Note: Users are advised to proactively upgrade before the current version reaches the Deprecated or EoS stage to ensure the system's security and stability.
| Scenario | Recommended Action |
|---|---|
| Database cluster is running a GA version | Continue normal usage. |
| Database cluster is running a Beta version | Regularly follow the update announcements, as the version may change or be removed without prior notice. |
| Database cluster is running a Deprecated version | Avoid creating new instances/clusters and plan to upgrade to a newer supported version, as end-of-support is approaching with the current version. |
| Database cluster is running a GA version | Monitor and plan for an upgrade to ensure continued support and stability. |
| Major Version | Minor Version | FDE Preview | FDE GA | FDE Deprecated | FDE End of Support |
