Announcing Amazon Aurora MySQL 3.10 as long-term support (LTS) release

Starting today, long-term support (LTS) will also be provided on Aurora MySQL 3.10 (compatible with MySQL 8.0.42) minor version. Database clusters that use LTS releases can stay on the same minor version for at least three years or until end of standard support for the major version, whichever is sooner. During the lifetime of an Aurora MySQL LTS release, new patches introduce fixes for select high severity security and operational issues. These patches don't include any new features. For more details about Aurora MySQL 3.10, refer to the Aurora MySQL 3.10 launch announcement and release notes.

This is the second minor version designated as LTS on Aurora MySQL-Compatible Edition 3 in addition to Aurora MySQL 3.04 (compatible with MySQL 8.0.28) minor version. This LTS version does not change the end of life schedules for other LTS versions or engine major versions. For more details about LTS and how to stay on the LTS minor version, refer to LTS documentation. This LTS release is available in all AWS regions where Aurora MySQL is available.
