Amazon RDS for MySQL

Amazon RDS for MySQL now supports new Amazon RDS Extended Support minor version 5.7.44-RDS.20260521. We recommend that you upgrade to this version to fix known security vulnerabilities and bugs in prior versions of MySQL.

What to do

  • Upgrade your database instances to the new minor version.
  • Review the Amazon RDS User Guide for more information on upgrades.

Amazon RDS Extended Support provides up to three years of critical security and bug fixes for MySQL databases on Aurora and RDS after the community ends support for a major version. You can run your MySQL databases with Extended Support for up to three years beyond a major version’s end of standard support date.

Learn more about Extended Support in the Amazon RDS User Guide and the Pricing FAQs.

Amazon RDS for MySQL makes it simple to set up, operate, and scale MySQL deployments in the cloud. See Amazon RDS for MySQL Pricing for pricing details and regional availability. Create or update a fully managed Amazon RDS database in the Amazon RDS Management Console.
