Aurora MySQL database engine updates 2021-09-02 (version 2.07.6) (Deprecated)

Version: 2.07.6

Aurora MySQL 2.07.6 is generally available. Aurora MySQL 2.* versions are compatible with MySQL 5.7 and Aurora MySQL 1.* versions are compatible with MySQL 5.6.

Currently supported Aurora MySQL releases are 1.19.5, 1.19.6, 1.22.*, 1.23.*, 2.04.*, 2.07.*, 2.08.*, 2.09.*, 2.10.*, 3.01.* and 3.02.*.

You can restore a snapshot from a currently supported Aurora MySQL release into Aurora MySQL 2.07.6. You also have the option to upgrade existing Aurora MySQL 2.* database clusters to Aurora MySQL 2.07.6. You can't upgrade an existing Aurora MySQL 1.* cluster directly to 2.07.6; however, you can restore its snapshot to Aurora MySQL 2.07.6.

To create a cluster with an older version of Aurora MySQL, please specify the engine version through the AWS Management Console, the AWS CLI, or the RDS API.

If you have any questions or concerns, AWS Support is available on the community forums and through AWS Support. For more information, see Maintaining an Amazon Aurora DB cluster in the Amazon Aurora User Guide.
