Announcing MongoDB Server 8.0 Platform Support Improvements

MongoDB has announced changes in its Server Platform Policy for version 8.0, focusing on providing unparalleled performance, scalability, and operational resilience necessary for creating next-generation applications. Starting with version 8.0, new major versions of MongoDB will only be released on operating system (OS) versions fully supported by the vendor for the duration of the MongoDB version's life. Additionally, new MongoDB Server versions will be released on the minimum supported minor version of the OS. These changes aim to ensure best-in-class security and limit vulnerabilities introduced by customers running EOL operating systems. The updates also underscore MongoDB's commitment to helping developers innovate quickly while providing a highly secure and performant data platform.
