A while back got an e-mail stating the above; And a week ago I just realized that migrating to Aurora is only supported until Mysql version 8.0.26...So AWS is basically nullifying the posibility of migrating from Mysql 8 to Aurora after April 20? Right?

I would suggest taking a look at that page, as well as our compatibility docs to make sure your configuration is set up for any upcoming changes: https://amzn.to/3YP9nUA . - Roxy M.

RDS MySQL and Aurora are two different products; RDS is deprecating those versions, Aurora is a fork with a bunch of custom AWS-specific data plane magic, but they backport updates from the MySQL upstream to keep compatibility. There's two things to consider with updating versions of software: features/APIs/compatibility and security fixes. In terms of compatibility: Aurora MySQL version 3 also includes changes to keywords for inclusive language, backported from community MySQL 8.0.26. In terms of security, AWS will take care of porting relevant security fixes and what not from upstream and/or fixing it themselves as it's a managed service. But at the end of the day, Aurora 3.03 is the latest version, which maps back to MySQL 8.0.26, but is not deprecated yet: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonRDS/latest/AuroraMySQLReleaseNotes/AuroraMySQL.Updates.30Updates.html

This was announced a long Time ago ! Also official mysql 5.7 support (features AND security fix) is over since 21 october 2023. AWS supported it for free for 4 months. Now of course you need to pay or update your db engine version. As a rule of thumbs, not only on AWS but with everything, always check for the support life of the tools you use. Target LTS versions, and plan migration or update before the end of life.

What would you think is appropriate action to tell you the production server you are using on a managed service will be end of life in 10 days?

r/aws on Reddit: AWS RDS MySQL 5.7 Support Beyond October 2023
March 22, 2023 -
Hi everyone,
I have two questions regarding the future support of MySQL 5.7 on AWS RDS. I'm currently using MySQL 5.7 for my database needs, and I'm curious to know if AWS plans to continue supporting MySQL 5.7 on RDS beyond October 2023.
I'm a junior with AWS, and this is the first time I'm facing such a widespread service deprecation like MySQL 5.7. Although there is no additional information in the AWS documentation besides the "RDS end of standard support date," I'm a bit surprised because I haven't received any communication about it yet.
So my questions are:
-
Has anyone received any communication about how and when we need to migrate the impacted RDS resources?
-
I cannot find any information about what will happen to deprecated resources, and I would like to be prepared for the EOL date. According to an old answer I found, we will have 6 months after the announcement of a major deprecation, but I'm not sure if this answer is still valid. Does anyone have more experience with this?
Thank you!
