Overview
MySQL 8.0 will reach End of Life (EOL) in April 2026, leaving organizations running on AWS at risk if they continue running production workloads on this version without support.
For many businesses, upgrading to MySQL 8.4 is not an immediate option due to:
-Large Amazon EC2 server fleets (1000+) that take over a year to upgrade.
-Application dependencies on 8.0 features that may not migrate smoothly within the AWS ecosystem.
-Concerns about MySQL 8.4 stability and lack of compelling new features.
-Running unsupported software on AWS introduces vulnerabilities, compliance risks, and operational instability.
