Amazon RDS now supports easy retrieval of engine lifecycle support dates

Amazon RDS announces a new capability that helps you view engine lifecycle support dates for your databases. This new feature provides a centralized and convenient place to access engine support dates, offering greater control over your database lifecycle management

You can view start and end dates for RDS Standard Support and RDS Extended Support for RDS and Aurora major engine versions through the RDS API or AWS CLI. If RDS Extended Support is available for an engine version then both RDS Standard and Extended Support dates are shown. If RDS Extended Support is not available for an engine version, the response includes only RDS Standard Support dates

With this feature you can view lifecycle support dates for RDS MySQL, RDS MariaDB, RDS PostgreSQL, Aurora MySQL, and Aurora PostgreSQL engines. To learn more, visit Amazon RDS User Guide and Amazon Aurora User Guide.

Amazon RDS makes it simple to set up, operate, and scale database deployments in the cloud. Create or update a fully managed Amazon RDS database in the Amazon RDS Management Console.

Amazon Aurora is designed for unparalleled high performance and availability at global scale with full MySQL and PostgreSQL compatibility. To get started with Amazon Aurora, take a look at our getting started page.
