## Perform a planned major version upgrade from MySQL 5.7 to MySQL 8.0 using the Azure portal for Burstable SKU servers

Performing a major version upgrade for an Azure Database for MySQL Burstable SKU compute tier requires a specialized workflow. This is because major version upgrades are resource-intensive, demanding significant CPU and memory. Burstable SKU instances may struggle under these requirements, potentially causing the upgrade process to fail. Therefore, when upgrading a Burstable SKU, the system first upgrades the compute tier to a General Purpose SKU to ensure sufficient resources are available for the upgrade.
