You can now upgrade the version of your database directly from the Qovery console.
Important information on the upgrade of managed databases (RDS on AWS)
Once the upgrade is requested, the cloud provider applies the update based on its own internal rules which might cause a downtime of your database.
For example, by default AWS applies major updates on the database during the maintenance window, the instance might be rebooted during this window. This also means that your upgrade request will not be applied immediately but you can force the switch directly from your AWS console AFTER having launched the upgrade on Qovery.
Have a look at your cloud provider documentation to know more about how version upgrades are managed:
- AWS RDS DB engine upgrade: Upgrades of the RDS for MySQL DB engine - Amazon Relational Database Service
- AWS maintenance window: Maintaining a DB instance - Amazon Relational Database Service
