Based on the MySQL Developer manual:

https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.7/en/group-replication-requirements.html

It appears that so long as you're on the appropriate version you'll have access to this feature.

I ask the official support for the MySQL Group Replication, they told me that we can use the MySQL Group Replication in Community Edition even for the commercial product. But they advise to use the Enterprise monitor to increase the security and stability.

I think the official version include the support..

According to the official comparison of MySQL Editions, MySQL Group Replication is only available in Enterprise version and MySQL Cluster CGE.

It is included in MySQL Enterprise High-Availability which is

1 Features only available in Commercial Editions.

    Hi @Xin, You are right for commercial editions of MySql : Group replication functionality is unavailable into the Standard Edition. But my question was oriented about MySql Community Edition ... and Yes this functionality is available in Community Edition.
