You can call the UpgradeDBInstanceEngineVersion operation to upgrade the major engine version of an ApsaraDB RDS for MySQL instance.

Note The fee that you must pay after the upgrade varies based on the instance types and storage types of the original instance and the new instance.

If the instance is a primary instance to which read-only instances or disaster recovery instances are attached, you must upgrade the major engine versions of the read-only instances or disaster recovery instances before you upgrade the major engine version of the primary instance.

Before you call this operation, make sure that the following requirements are met:

  • The instance is in the Running state.
  • The original instance runs RDS MySQL 5.6 or RDS MySQL 5.5.

You can call the UpgradeDBInstanceMajorVersion operation to upgrade the major engine version of an ApsaraDB RDS for PostgreSQL instance.
