Hi, it's Shii-chan!

AWS What's New aws.amazon.com

You can try a new MySQL version early!

What was announced?

According to AWS What's New, Amazon RDS for MySQL 26.7 is now available in the Amazon RDS Database Preview Environment. You can evaluate the pre-release of MySQL 26.7 on Amazon RDS for MySQL.

Why it matters

MySQL 26.7 is the first Innovation release to adopt the new YY.M (Year.Month) calendar versioning model. It marks a change in how versions are numbered.

What changes

You can evaluate the new release in the preview environment before bringing it into production. It includes bug fixes, security patches, and new features such as Change Stream Applier, a modular replication applier that improves apply throughput and backlog recovery in test workloads.

Dive Deep

The preview environment has these constraints:

  • Database instances are retained for a maximum of 60 days and are automatically deleted after the retention period
  • Snapshots created in the Preview Environment can only be used within the Preview Environment
  • Instances are priced according to pricing in the US East (Ohio) Region

See the MySQL 26.7 release notes for details.

Wrap-up

  • RDS for MySQL 26.7 can be evaluated in the preview environment
  • First Innovation release with YY.M versioning
  • Instances are deleted after at most 60 days, and snapshots stay within the preview environment

This is for engineers who want to validate new MySQL releases early!
