Aurora Serverless v1 and Aurora database engine versions

Important

Amazon has announced the end-of-life date for Aurora Serverless v1: March 31st, 2025. All Aurora Serverless v1 clusters that are not migrated by March 31, 2025 will be migrated to Aurora Serverless v2 during the maintenance window. If the upgrade fails, Amazon Aurora converts the Serverless v1 cluster to a provisioned cluster with the equivalent engine version during the maintenance window. If applicable, Amazon Aurora will enroll the converted provisioned cluster in Amazon RDS Extended Support. For more information, see Amazon RDS Extended Support with Amazon Aurora.

Aurora Serverless v1 is available in certain Amazon Web Services Regions and for specific Aurora MySQL and Aurora PostgreSQL versions only. For the current list of Amazon Web Services Regions that support Aurora Serverless v1 and the specific Aurora MySQL and Aurora PostgreSQL versions available in each Region, see Aurora Serverless v1.

Aurora Serverless v1 uses its associated Aurora database engine to identify specific supported releases for each database engine supported, as follows:

  • Aurora MySQL Serverless

  • Aurora PostgreSQL Serverless

When minor releases of the database engines become available for Aurora Serverless v1, they are applied automatically in the various Amazon Web Services Regions where Aurora Serverless v1 is available. In other words, you don't need to upgrade your Aurora Serverless v1 DB cluster to get a new minor release for your cluster's DB engine when it's available for Aurora Serverless v1.
