Version numbers on Amazon RDS for MariaDB are identical to those of MariaDB. As a general guidance, new versions of the MariaDB engine become available on Amazon RDS within 5 months of their general availability.

Major versions (x.y in Amazon RDS terminology) are supported until the MariaDB Community Edition end of life, with a minimum of 3 years from their release date on Amazon RDS. Minor versions (x.y.z in Amazon RDS terminology) are supported at least for 1 year after their release date on Amazon RDS. Note that in some cases Amazon may deprecate specific major or minor versions sooner, such as when there are security issues.

Depending on the configuration, the kind of version (major or minor) and their deprecation status, upgrades can be manual, automatic or forced. When a minor release is deprecated, users are expected to upgrade within a 3 months period. This period is increased to 6 months for major releases. Upgrades are performed during the configured scheduled maintenance windows. These windows are initially set automatically by AWS but can be overridden in the AWS console.

For the most up-to-date information about the Amazon RDS deprecation policy for MariaDB, see Amazon RDS FAQs.
