Why Choose 10.11 over 11.x?
MariaDB 10.11 is the right choice when your stack is pinned to the 10.x branch. Older application schemas, ORM versions targeting MariaDB 10.x specifics, Galera 10.x clusters, and MaxScale 10.x deployments all require staying on the 10.x line. For greenfield deployments without these constraints, choose the cloudimg MariaDB 11 LTS image — that line is supported into 2029 and ships engine improvements that 10.x will not receive.
Use Cases
* Legacy production database servers pinned to MariaDB 10.x
* Migration target for MariaDB 10.5 / 10.6 customers extending support before a 11.x cutover
* Galera 10.x multi-master clusters
* Replication targets compatible with existing MariaDB 10.x masters
* MaxScale 10.x deployments
* MySQL-compatible applications with conservative upgrade paths
