MySQL 5.7 reached community end of life in October, 2023 and will reach RDS end of standard support on Feb 29, 2024. If you do not plan to use MySQL 5.7 after Feb 29, 2024, we recommend you upgrade to MySQL 8.0 at the earliest. If you are planning to use MySQL 5.7 beyond that date, we recommend you opt in to Amazon RDS Extended Support starting in December 2023. RDS Extended Support is offered exclusively on Amazon RDS for MySQL version 5.7.44. You can learn more about RDS Extended Support including the timelines and compatible versions in the Amazon RDS User Guide.
