Amazon Relational Database Service (Amazon RDS) for Oracle now supports early notifications of Auto minor Version Upgrades (AmVU) for instances via Pending Maintenance Actions (PMA), enhancing usability of AmVU.
Customers with AmVU enabled for their Amazon RDS for Oracle instances will benefit from the early notification of AmVU, which will give them more time to prepare and take downtime during patches. While the exact amount of notice may vary, customers will receive at least 3 weeks prior notice for an impending AmVU in any region. Customers will be able to manage their own fleets, testing minor versions in pre-production environments before applying them in production environments. To learn more, read Maintaining a DB instance documentation.
