MySQL 9.7 Now Available in Amazon RDS Preview Environment
Amazon RDS for MySQL just dropped support for MySQL 9.7 in the Database Preview Environment, so you can kick the tires on the latest LTS release before it goes live. Spin up a sandbox instance to test your apps against new features and security patches without touching production. Just remember: preview instances auto-delete after 60 days, and snapshots stay locked in the preview environment. Perfect for early adopters who want to stay ahead of the curve.
