Amazon RDS for MySQL

Amazon RDS for MySQL now supports MySQL minor versions 8.0.44 and 8.4.7, the latest minors released by the MySQL community. We recommend upgrading to the newer minor versions to fix known security vulnerabilities in prior versions of MySQL and to benefit from bug fixes, performance improvements, and new functionality added by the MySQL community.

You can leverage automatic minor version upgrades to automatically upgrade your databases to more recent minor versions during scheduled maintenance windows. You can also use Amazon RDS Managed Blue/Green deployments for safer, simpler, and faster updates to your MySQL instances.

What to do

  • Upgrade your databases to MySQL minor versions 8.0.44 and 8.4.7.
  • Enable automatic minor version upgrades.
  • Consider using Amazon RDS Managed Blue/Green deployments for updates.
