Maintenance Windows

Maintenance windows and scheduling policies for MariaDB Cloud — every service has an assigned weekly 1-hour window defined in UTC, auto-assigned per region and configurable per service.

Every MariaDB Cloud database operates with an assigned weekly maintenance window. You can configure a different preferred maintenance period for each of your services.

Window Configuration Details

• Each maintenance window is a block of 1 hour.

• Windows are defined in UTC to provide consistency across global time zones and daylight saving time (DST) changes.

• If you don't select a window during or after launch, a default window is automatically assigned for your service, scheduled during off-peak hours for the deployed region's local time.

You can view and change your assigned window at any time from the Maintenance pane on the Service detail page. See Maintenance Management for the full workflow.

Auditability and Compliance

MariaDB Cloud maintains a comprehensive, auditable history of all maintenance activities for each service. This history records when maintenance was scheduled, executed, and completed. Customer actions — including manual application, window changes, and deferrals — are permanently recorded to provide a complete audit trail for compliance and troubleshooting.
