RDS Blue/Green Documentation Discrepancy/Unclear

0

The documentation for RDS blue/green deployments indicates the following limitation:

MySQL versions 8.0.13 and lower have a community bug that prevents RDS from supporting them for blue/green deployments

I'm running a MySQL database in RDS on version 5.7.33, yet my Action menu still shows the option to "Create Blue/Green Deployment" for this instance. Is the limitation/bug only referring to MySQL version 8 databases, or would version 5.7 also be impacted by this bug? I don't want to perform a required update only for it to fail, or even worse, to lose data in a production environment.

  • When you do choose to upgrade to 8.0, just choose a more recent minor version and skip 8.0.13 entirely.
