Our production RDS for mysql engine were mandatory upgrated from 8.0.20 to 8.0.28 about a weeks ago without receiving notification.
What I do:
I found this essay: https://aws.amazon.com/rds/faqs/?nc1=h_ls
enter image description here
It shows that there will be announcement about rds deprecating before beginning automatic upgrade.
Help wanted:
Does Anybody know the rigth place about the rds deprecating announcement? So I can know and arrange the rds engine upgrades in advance.

I know AWS do not support downgrades in the RDS UI or with CLI, however I have been told that I can downgrade from the deprecated MySQL 8.0.29 to 8.0.28 using the AWS Database Migration Service.
I have Googled everywhere but can't find any help on this, and I'm still waiting for Amazon to tell me.
Does anybody know how to do this (step by step instructions would help) or if there is another way?
I am new to Amazon RDS, and looking to get answer for my question below and couldn't find the answer on stackoverflow yet.
I have a MySQL Database on premise that I want to synchronize with the MySQL Database on Amazon RDS. I understand that replication is possible with Amazon RDS, but how about continuous synchronization? Say my existing local database has one transaction that has been made, I want to synchronize just that transaction, either immediately or by schedule, so that I don't need to replicate the whole thing to RDS.
Does RDS have this feature for MySQL or any other database?
If not, what tools should I be using? EC2 + ? ?
Or is there any database that supports this so I can just run the database on EC2?
Your best (first) option should probably be the AWS Database Migration Service. This is a migration service for exactly your use-case.
If uptime is less of an issue, you could always do a mysql_dump, move that to an EC2 instance and load that into an RDS instance.
I'm new on elastic search, i'm in a project that intent to be a system with a huge amount of data queryable, so the idea is using the elastic search to search from each index.
I try to create a system that support a cluster of elastic search, i know that we can create a cluster of ES nodes.
However me and my co-workers we're worried about data (backups, maintenance) so the idea is that ES nodes using a single instance of amazon RDS (and make amazon deal with scaling the servers) that way we can centralize the data. That is a valid thing to do?
My doubt is how I can setup the local ES server to connect with remote mysql server (RDS or other one) , i try to use https://github.com/jprante/elasticsearch-river-jdbc to make this with no success. That anyone already use ES with amazon RDS that can help?
After investigate a bit more on a plugin documentation i think that i'm understand what i'm missing.I've already configured with successful the river mode (pulling data from mysql server) however i think i'm missing the feed mode (putting data from plugin) that is why i'm not getting any data from mysql server.
Thanks in advance
For everyone that have any problems setup the river-plugin for elastic search, I've contacted the guy who maintain the plugin and he've written a step-by-step setup tutorial on linux here
I hope that is help anyone
We are migrating our MySql instance from version 5.5 in US to 5.6 in Sydney.
To reduce downtime I want to do following:
Create Readonly Replica in US
Upgrade it to 5.6
Enable automated Backup as it's required to replicate the instance
PROBLEM: When I'm trying to create a replica of a replica(selecting Sydney as destination region) I get this: "The source DB instance specified needs to be non read replica"
If I understand this http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonRDS/latest/UserGuide/USER_ReadRepl.html correctly it should be perfectly fine for me to create a replica of a replica, however I'm running out of ideas why it doesn't let me... Should I make it non-readonly?
UPDATE: It looks like you can create a Replica(5.6) of a Read Replica(5.6) in the same region, however I still have no luck creating a readReplica from a readReplica in another region.
I think you are missing the step of Promoting the Read Replica to fully functional stand-alone RDS instance.
Once you are through this step, you can then enable the Backups and Snapshots.
Excerpt From AWS Blog
Upgrade Support
Today we are enhancing Amazon RDS with the ability to upgrade your
MySQL DB Instances from version 5.5 to the latest release in the 5.6
series that's available on RDS.
To upgrade your existing instances, create a new Read Replica, upgrade it to MySQL 5.6, and once it has caught up to your existing
master, promote it to be the new master. You can initiate and
monitor each of these steps from the AWS Management Console. Refer to
the Upgrading from MySQL 5.5 to MySQL 5.6 section of the Amazon RDS
User Guide to learn more.

Amazon RDS MySQL vs Amazon RDS SQLServer
I have a data size of about 30-50 GB and its all in SQL Server 2008 present in physical servers. I am thinking of moving my data to cloud and I am considering Amazon web services as a solution.
Now Amazon provides both MySQL and SQLServer and I am trying to figure out which database is the most seamlessly and efficiently supported. SQLServer in AWS is a very new service. My requirements are following :
Scalability (should be provided for both the databases)
Replication
One important thing is that recently there has been a lot of news about Oracle trying to kill MySQL . link --> http://techcrunch.com/2012/08/18/oracle-makes-more-moves-to-kill-open-source-mysql/
What would the implications of this be on Amazon MySQl service. Also besides this I dont think integration of the current db into Amazon should be a problem but how well are both db supported in Amazon. I am looking for a detailed and clear answer. Thanks!
EDIT 1 : I am still looking for a thorough answer. Does anybody have nay idea how well is SQLserver supported in AWS ?
