Scheduled
Effective Aug 17, 2026, IONOS Cloud will permanently disable the creation of new DBaaS MariaDB clusters via API v1. This is a preliminary step in our transition to the upgraded MariaDB v2 infrastructure.
What does this mean for you?
- New Cluster Provisions: Any automated scripts, CI/CD pipelines, SDKs, or IaC tools (e.g., Terraform) attempting to create new MariaDB clusters using API v1 after Aug 17, 2026, will be rejected.
- Existing Clusters: There is no impact on existing MariaDB v1 clusters. All running v1 instances will remain fully operational and accessible as usual.
Required Actions for New Deployments
To deploy new MariaDB clusters going forward, you must transition your provisioning automation to MariaDB v2:
- Update API Calls & Integrations: Switch your scripts, SDKs, and Terraform configurations to use the MariaDB v2 API and providers.
- Review Supported Versions: MariaDB v2 supports versions 10.11, 11.4, 11.8 and 12.3.
Looking Ahead: Automated Cluster Migrations
Existing MariaDB v1 clusters will be automatically migrated to the v2 infrastructure by IONOS with zero downtime. Connection endpoints will remain unchanged. You will receive separate status updates and communications as the migration rollout approaches.
If you have questions or need technical assistance updating your workflows to API v2, please contact our Customer Support team at support@cloud.ionos.com.
