Today, we announce the End of Life for IBM Cloud Hyper Protect DBaaS for PostgreSQL and IBM Cloud Hyper Protect DBaaS for MongoDB.
While this offering has been around for a few years and we have seen interest in the capabilities it provided to you and your business, we will pivot to a future delivery strategy that focuses on IBM Cloud Databases.
