Description

The major version upgrade feature allows you to perform in-place upgrades of existing instances of Azure Database for MySQL - Flexible Server from MySQL 5.7 to MySQL 8.0 with the click of button, without any data movement or the need to make any application connection string changes. Take advantage of this functionality to efficiently perform major version upgrades on your instances of Azure Database for MySQL - Flexible Server and so that you can leverage the latest that MySQL 8.0 has to offer.

Current configuration of version in azurerm_mysql_flexible_server forces a new MySQL Flexible Server to be created.

New configuration of version change should allow in-place upgrades of MySQL 5.7 servers to MySQL 8.0 without any data movement or the need of any application connection string changes.
