What was announced?

In AWS What's New, AWS announced that Amazon Aurora MySQL-Compatible Edition 3 (compatible with MySQL 8.0) now supports MySQL 8.0.46 with Aurora MySQL 3.14. It includes community MySQL fixes and Aurora-specific improvements.

What changes

Besides operational improvements, Aurora MySQL 3.14 supports post-quantum TLS (PQ-TLS) key exchange, giving you post-quantum cryptography options for encrypting data in transit.

Dive Deep

Here's how upgrades work.

  • Upgrade during scheduled maintenance windows using automatic minor version upgrades
  • At scale, enable automatic minor version upgrades and use the AWS Organizations Upgrade Rollout Policy to orchestrate upgrades across your clusters in phases
  • Minor version upgrades can be done in-place or via snapshot restore

See the Aurora MySQL 3 and MySQL 8.0.46 release notes for details. It's supported in all AWS Regions where Aurora MySQL is available.

Wrap-up

  • Aurora MySQL 3.14 (MySQL 8.0.46 compatible) is generally available
  • PQ-TLS key exchange is supported
  • Roll out with automatic minor version upgrades and the Upgrade Rollout Policy
  • Available in all Regions where Aurora MySQL is available

This is for anyone running MySQL 8.0-compatible Aurora or preparing for post-quantum cryptography!
