Amazon RDS for MySQL now supports new minor version 8.4.11
tarting today, Amazon Relational Database Service (Amazon RDS) for MySQL supports MySQL minor version 8.4.11, the latest minor released by community MySQL. In addition to operational improvements, MySQL 8.4.11 introduces support for post-quantum TLS (PQ-TLS) key exchange, providing you with post-quantum cryptography options for encrypting your data in-transit. We recommend upgrading to the newer minor versions to accept fixes for CVEs in prior versions of MySQL and to benefit from bug fixes, performance improvements, and new functionality added by the MySQL community.
