We’ve added a new MySQL config profile, 2026.1, to Hypernode. This profile refreshes our MySQL defaults for modern MySQL 8.x environments and current SSD and NVMe based infrastructure.
What’s improved
- Better default tuning for modern hardware and MySQL versions
- Smarter configuration for memory, disk I/O, and temporary data handling based on the size of your server
- Faster warm-up after restarts, helping performance return sooner after maintenance or reboots
- Overall a cleaner configuration that either removes or replaces several older legacy settings with newer MySQL equivalents
The legacy profile has served us well and remains a good choice. The new 2026.1 profile mainly builds on that foundation with updated defaults for newer MySQL setups.
How to switch
If you’d like to use the new profile, update the mysql_config_profile setting on your node:
hypernode-systemctl settings mysql_config_profile 2026.1
Note: Applying this change will trigger a brief restart of the MySQL service, so we recommend running this command during off-peak hours.
If you ever need to revert to the previous configuration, you can easily switch back by running:
hypernode-systemctl settings mysql_config_profile legacy
As always, let us know via support if you have questions or want help planning the change.
