I believe you&#8217;re surely considering an upgrade. But if you&#8217;re on AWS and still on an older version of MySQL, this message is for you. Upgrade to MySQL 8 sooner as AWS extended support is coming with extra cost.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">TL;DR If you want to save money <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\">upgrade to MySQL 8<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Watch short video on AWS RDS &#8211; MySQL Extended Support Cost implications .<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"How to Save Costs by MySQL Upgrade | RDS\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/p6pCaTQNLVY?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Beginning on February 29, 2024, Amazon RDS users operating on MySQL 5.7 will be automatically enrolled in Amazon RDS Extended Support. <br>You will incur higher charges once RDS Extended Support commences from 1st March 2024. In fact, the costs are almost double to triple ($$$), until users upgrade to MySQL 8. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Even though this is very well notified by AWS team and also visible on AWS console, I am writing this to encourage you to take action. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Points about RDS Extended Support<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>This allows more control over upgrading database versions, avoiding unplanned downtime and compatibility issues.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Automatic enrollment will result in higher charges, nearly tripling until upgrading to MySQL 8 or PostgreSQL 12 is completed.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>RDS Extended Support provides critical CVE patches and bug fixes beyond community end-of-life dates, ensuring continued support and security.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Customers can upgrade their databases to newer versions to avoid RDS Extended Support charges.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Refer: <a href=\"https:\/\/aws.amazon.com\/ru\/blogs\/aws\/your-mysql-5-7-and-postgresql-11-databases-will-be-automatically-enrolled-into-amazon-rds-extended-support\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">https:\/\/aws.amazon.com\/ru\/blogs\/aws\/your-mysql-5-7-and-postgresql-11-databases-will-be-automatically-enrolled-into-amazon-rds-extended-support\/<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\"><strong>Do you need <a href=\"mailto:kedar@nitty-witty.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">Help Upgrading<\/a> to MySQL 8?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Conclusion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Upgrade to MySQL 8 is Inevitable.
