Amazon Aurora MySQL 3.10 (compatible with MySQL 8.0.42) is now generally available
Starting today, Amazon Aurora MySQL - Compatible Edition 3 (with MySQL 8.0 compatibility) will support MySQL 8.0.42 through Aurora MySQL v3.10. In addition to several security enhancements and bug fixes, MySQL 8.0.42 contains performance improvements for parallel replication using writeset dependency tracking, as well as enhanced debugging capabilities within the InnoDB storage engine.
Aurora MySQL 3.10 includes an increase in maximum storage capacity from 128 TiB to 256 TiB, allowing customers to manage larger database workloads within a single database cluster. Aurora MySQL 3.10 also introduces in-memory relay log optimization that improves binary log replication performance by caching relay log content in memory, reducing commit latency and minimizing storage I/O operations on binlog replicas. For more details, refer to the Aurora MySQL 3.10 and MySQL 8.0.42 release notes.
To upgrade to Aurora MySQL 3.10, you can initiate a minor version upgrade manually by modifying your DB cluster, or you can enable the “Auto minor version upgrade” option when creating or modifying a DB cluster. This release is available in all AWS regions where Aurora MySQL is available.
