Amazon RDS Blue/Green Deployments now supports Amazon RDS Proxy, enabling faster application recovery during switchover by eliminating DNS propagation delays. Blue/Green Deployments create a fully managed staging environment (Green) that allows you to deploy and test production changes, keeping your current production database (Blue) safe. When ready, you can switchover to the new production environment and your applications begin accessing it immediately without any configuration changes.
During a Blue/Green Deployment switchover for single-Region configurations, RDS Proxy actively monitors database instances and detects when the Green environment becomes the new production environment. This allows RDS Proxy to quickly redirect connections to the Green environment, enabling faster application recovery. You don’t need to modify your drivers or change your existing application setup.
Amazon RDS Blue/Green Deployments with Amazon RDS Proxy is available for Amazon Aurora with MySQL compatibility, Amazon Aurora with PostgreSQL compatibility, Amazon RDS for MySQL, Amazon RDS for PostgreSQL, and Amazon RDS for MariaDB in all commercial AWS Regions where RDS Proxy is available.
In a few clicks, update your databases using RDS Blue/Green Deployments via the Amazon RDS Console or Amazon CLI. To learn more, see Blue/Green Deployments overview in the Amazon RDS documentation.
