Amazon RDS for MySQL now supports community MySQL Innovation Release 9.4 in the Amazon RDS Database Preview Environment, allowing you to evaluate the latest Innovation Release on Amazon RDS for MySQL. You can deploy MySQL 9.4 in the Amazon RDS Database Preview Environment which provides the benefits of a fully managed database, making it simpler to set up, operate, and monitor databases.
MySQL 9.4 is the latest Innovation Release from the MySQL community. MySQL Innovation releases include bug fixes, security patches, as well as new features. MySQL Innovation releases are supported by the community until the next innovation minor, whereas MySQL Long Term Support (LTS) Releases, such as MySQL 8.0 and MySQL 8.4, are supported by the community for up to eight years. Please refer to the MySQL 9.4 release notes and Amazon RDS MySQL release notes for more details.
Amazon RDS Database Preview Environment supports both Single-AZ and Multi-AZ deployments on the latest generation of instance classes. Amazon RDS Database Preview Environment database instances are retained for a maximum of 60 days and are automatically deleted after the retention period. Amazon RDS database snapshots created in the Preview Environment can only be used to create or restore database instances within the Preview Environment.
Amazon RDS Database Preview Environment database instances are priced the same as production RDS instances created in the US East (Ohio) Region. For further information, see Working with the Database Preview Environment. To get started with the Preview Environment from the RDS console, navigate here.
