HAQM RDS for MySQL announces Extended Support minor 5.7.44-RDS.20250508

Posted on: May 27, 2025

HAQM Relational Database Service (RDS) for MySQL now supports new HAQM RDS Extended Support minor version 5.7.44-RDS.20250508. We recommend that you upgrade to this version to fix known security vulnerabilities and bugs in prior versions of MySQL. Learn more about upgrading your database instances, including minor and major version upgrades, in the HAQM RDS User Guide.

HAQM RDS Extended Support provides you more time, up to three years, to upgrade to a new major version to help you meet your business requirements. During Extended Support, HAQM RDS will provide critical security and bug fixes for your MySQL databases on Aurora and RDS after the community ends support for a major version. You can run your MySQL databases on HAQM RDS 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 HAQM RDS User Guide and the Pricing FAQs.

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