Hello,

[AWS Health may periodically trigger reminder notifications about this
communication if resources remain unresolved.]

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
periodic reminder, following up from our previous 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, 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 can not 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]
