Percona Distribution for MySQL is a single solution with the best and most critical enterprise components from the MySQL open source community, designed and tested to work together.

Percona Distribution for MySQL provides two deployment variants: one is based on *Percona Server for MySQL* and another one is based on *Percona XtraDB Cluster*. This enables you to choose the MySQL deployment approach that best meets your specific needs. Each variant is available via its own repository and includes the base server (*Percona Server for MySQL* or *Percona XtraDB Cluster*) and compatible [components](index.md#components).

This release of Percona Distribution for MySQL is focused on the *Percona XtraDB Cluster*-based deployment variant and is based on [Percona XtraDB Cluster 8.0.22-13.1](https://www.percona.com/doc/percona-xtradb-cluster/8.0/release-notes/Percona-XtraDB-Cluster-8.0.22-13.1.html).
