How to check if the OS upgrade is complete

Question

hello.
Events related to OS upgrade have been confirmed as shown below.

> Health Events
> Here is a summary of the milestones related to the OS upgrade.
* You can now initiate OS upgrades at any time on Amazon RDS for affected MariaDB DB instances until August 31, 2022 at 9:01 AM KST.
* After August 31, 2022 at 9:01 AM KST, Amazon RDS will automatically upgrade the MariaDB DB instance's OS to the latest version within the maintenance window.

**RDS Settings**

- Engine Version: MariaDB 10.4.21
- Class: db.m5.xlarge
- Minor version auto-upgrade enabled.

There was maintenance work, so I applied it right away.
- Recommendation type applied: Enhanced monitoring off

Pending maintenance tasks are not checked in the RDS console.
How can I check if the upgrade is complete?

For RDS Mariadb, how do I check for recommendations?

Thank you.

Hey

I see that you have listed the health Events related to OS upgrade above and I checked those events in the following document https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonRDS/latest/UserGuide/USER_UpgradeDBInstance.Maintenance.html#USER_UpgradeDBInstance.OSUpgrades unfortunately, I couldn’t see the schedule for operating system updates for RDS for MariaDB. I would recommend this https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonRDS/latest/UserGuide/USER_UpgradeDBInstance.Maintenance.html or https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonRDS/latest/UserGuide/USER_UpgradeDBInstance.MariaDB.html for your use case.

You can check the completed upgrade in your console, under configuration tab. You can also check the completed upgrade using the following commands: SELECT VERSION(); , SELECT @@version; , SHOW VARIABLES WHERE variable_name = 'version’; , SHOW VARIABLES WHERE variable_name LIKE '%version%’; , STATUS;

Thank you
