Amazon RDS Custom for SQL Server now provides customers with ability to view and schedule new operating system (OS) updates for RDS provided engine versions (RPEV). With RPEV, RDS Custom provides a SQL Server version pre-installed on an Amazon Machine Image (AMI). When new operating system updates are available for RPEV, customers can now view upcoming updates, apply them immediately, or schedule them for application in the next maintenance window using RDS Custom APIs.
To view available OS updates, customers can use the describe-pending-maintenance-actions API, or subscribe to RDS-EVENT-0230 to receive an alert when new updates become available for their database instance. Customers can use apply-pending-maintenance-action API to apply the updates immediately or schedule them within their next maintenance window.
Using these features, customers can efficiently track and apply OS updates. To learn more, refer to the Amazon RDS Custom for SQL Server User Guide. These features are available in all the AWS Regions where RDS Custom for SQL Server is available.
