AWS RDS Oracle Patching

0

How do I automate the below RDS database tasks whenever a minor version upgrade is available?

  1. Stop the DB instance
  2. Take a snapshot
  3. Upgrade the minor version
  4. Start the database
  • This process is already automated with the steps you describe above. All you need to do is to choose maintenance window and enable minor version patching in your RDS database and database will be patched. If you come across any issue then please open a support ticket with AWS support to resolve the issue.

Here is a link to automatic and manual patching for an upgrading an Oracle RDS Database instance.

The process might be automatic or manual if it is a major or minor version upgrade. https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonRDS/latest/UserGuide/USER_UpgradeDBInstance.Oracle.html.
