Hello,

You are receiving this message because you have one or more Amazon Aurora
MySQL clusters running a version of Aurora MySQL 2 (with MySQL 5.7
compatibility) on a provisioned instance in the US-EAST-1 Region. If you
are running Amazon Aurora MySQL 2 (with MySQL 5.7 compatibility) in an
Aurora Serverless v1 cluster, this communication does not apply to you.

Amazon Aurora MySQL 2 (with MySQL 5.7 compatibility) will reach end of
standard support on October 31, 2024. We are providing you with a 6-month
reminder, following up from our previous 12-month notice, so you have
sufficient time to upgrade your database cluster(s). Please note that
upgrading between major versions requires more extensive planning and
testing than for a minor version and the process can take substantial time.

We recommend that you upgrade your databases to the latest patch of the
default minor version of Amazon Aurora MySQL 3 (currently Aurora MySQL
3.04) or higher, at your earliest convenience before October 31, 2024. For
how to do the upgrades please consult our documentation [1]. Upgrades may
be performed using in-place upgrade [2], snapshot and restore [3], or a
high availability blue-green upgrade technique which can be fully managed
using Amazon RDS Blue/Green Deployments [4]. The amount of downtime your
system will experience depends on the upgrade technique chosen, as well as
properties of your schema.

Major version upgrades will require downtime and might require manual
intervention and application changes. We will send you updates and
reminders before the standard support deadline. You can find the latest
information needed to plan your upgrade in our 'User Guide for Aurora' [5].

The affected clusters are listed in the 'Affected resources' tab of your
AWS Health Dashboard. You can also find clusters which are affected by this
deprecation notice by referring to the following user guide [6].

Amazon Aurora MySQL provides you with one year of free extended support
over community MySQL 5.7, that reached end of life on October 31, 2023. If
you need more time to complete the upgrades, you can use Amazon RDS
Extended Support [7] for Aurora MySQL 2. RDS Extended Support [8] for
Aurora is a paid service [9] that will provide up to 28 additional months
of support for Aurora MySQL 2 until the end of extended support in February
2027. After October 31, 2024 all your databases continue running Aurora
MySQL 2 will be automatically enrolled in RDS Extended Support. Charges for
RDS Extended Support will start accruing from December 1, 2024. RDS
Extended Support will only be offered for Aurora MySQL minor versions 2.11
and 2.12. If you plan to use Amazon Aurora MySQL 2 beyond end of standard
support, please plan to be running your database(s) on one of these minor
versions before October 31, 2024. If your databases are not running Aurora
MySQL minor versions 2.11 or 2.12 by October 31, 2024 they will be upgraded
before being enrolled into RDS Extended Support. This upgrade will occur
during your maintenance window and cannot be turned off.

Should you have any questions or concerns, the AWS Support Team is
available on AWS re:Post [10] and via AWS Support. [11]
