We are pleased to inform you that a significant upgrade has been made in our devstack environment—specifically, the MySQL version has been advanced from 5.7 to 8.0.
For developers initiating a fresh devstack setup, there’s no additional action required on your part. However, for those who currently maintain devstacks on their systems and wish to transition to the upgraded version while preserving their existing database data, we have incorporated essential enhancements.
We have introduced a dbcopy command designed to facilitate the seamless transfer of content from the mysql57 container to the newly implemented mysql80 container.
