+
+> [Amazon RDS for MySQL](https://aws.amazon.com/rds/mysql) is a PaaS offering from Amazon for
+> creating managed MySQL Community Edition databases. RDS makes it easier to set up, operate, and
+> scale MySQL deployments on AWS cloud.
+
+Version numbers on Amazon RDS for MySQL are identical to those of [MySQL](/mysql). As a general
+guidance, new versions of the MySQL engine become available on Amazon RDS within 5 months of their
+general availability by Oracle.
+
+Major versions (`x.y` in Amazon RDS terminology) are supported [until the MySQL Community
+Edition end of life](/mysql), 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](https://aws.amazon.com/rds/faqs/#How_do_I_control_if_and_when_the_engine_version_of_my_DB_instance_is_upgraded_to_new_supported_versions.3F).
+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 MySQL, see [Amazon
+RDS FAQs](http://aws.amazon.com/rds/faqs/).
