Amazon Aurora Global Database now supports managed minor version upgrades

Amazon Aurora Global Database now supports managed minor version upgrades across your global topology with minimal downtime, eliminating the need to manually upgrade each cluster individually and reducing operational overhead for global cluster management.

Aurora Global Database allows a single Aurora database to span up to 11 AWS Regions, providing disaster recovery from Region-wide outages and enabling fast local reads for globally distributed applications. You can now perform managed minor version upgrades through the AWS Management Console, SDK, or CLI and all the global clusters, across Regions, are upgraded to the selected minor version, eliminating the need to manually upgrade each cluster individually.

This capability is currently only supported for Aurora PostgreSQL-compatible engines and available in all commercial AWS Regions and AWS GovCloud (US) Regions. To learn more about managed minor version upgrades, see our documentation.
