In 2018, the MongoDB community permanently stopped the update of MongoDB 3.0 and MongoDB 3.2. Therefore, ApsaraDB for MongoDB instances that run MongoDB 3.0 or MongoDB 3.2 have been at high risks. In this case, we will put all ApsaraDB for MongoDB instances that run MongoDB 3.0 or MongoDB 3.2 to the End of Full Support (EOFS) state on July 31, 2024 (UTC+8). Starting from July 31, 2024 (UTC+8), Alibaba Cloud will no longer provide feature updates, security issue fixes, and technical support for MongoDB 3.0 and MongoDB 3.2. We recommend that you upgrade your instance to a later version at your earliest opportunity.
