Viewing pending database upgrades for RDS Custom DB instances

Note

End of support notice: On March 31, 2027, Amazon will end support for Amazon RDS Custom for Oracle. After March 31, 2027, you will no longer be able to access the RDS Custom for Oracle console or RDS Custom for Oracle resources. For more information, see RDS Custom for Oracle end of support.

You can see pending database upgrades for your Amazon RDS Custom DB instances by using the describe-db-instances or describe-pending-maintenance-actions Amazon CLI command.

However, this approach doesn't work if you used the --apply-immediately option or if the upgrade is in progress.

The following describe-db-instances command shows pending database upgrades for my-custom-instance.

aws rds describe-db-instances --db-instance-identifier my-custom-instance

The output resembles the following.

{
    "DBInstances": [
        {
           "DBInstanceIdentifier": "my-custom-instance",
            "EngineVersion": "19.my_cev1",
            ...
            "PendingModifiedValues": {
                "EngineVersion": "19.my_cev3"
            ...
            }
        }
    ]
}
