### Upgrade the engine version
> [!caution]
> Database engine upgrades require downtime.<br/>
> Minimize the downtime by using a blue/green deployment.
In general, **major** engine version upgrades can introduce breaking changes.<br/>
**Minor** version upgrades usually only include changes that are backward-compatible with existing applications.
At the time of writing, multi-AZ DB clusters only support major version upgrades of PostgreSQL.<br/>
Minor version upgrades are supported for **all** engines.
> [!important]
> One **cannot** modify a DB instance when it is being upgraded.
>
> During an engine upgrade, the DB instance status changes to `upgrading`.<br/>
> This prevents further changes to the instance while the process is being carried out.
#### Upgrade to a new major version
Manually modify a DB engine version through the Console, CLI, or RDS API:
```sh
# Show available upgrade target versions for a given DB engine version.
aws rds describe-db-engine-versions \
--engine 'postgres' --engine-version '13' \
--query 'DBEngineVersions[*].ValidUpgradeTarget[*]'
# Start upgrading.
aws rds modify-db-instance --db-instance-identifier 'my-db-instance' \
--engine-version '14.15' --allow-major-version-upgrade --no-apply-immediately
aws rds modify-db-instance … --apply-immediately
```
#### Upgrade to a new minor version
Either:
- Manually modify a DB engine version through the Console, CLI, or RDS API:
```sh
# Show available automatic minor upgrade target versions for a given DB engine version.
aws rds describe-db-engine-versions \
--engine 'postgres' --engine-version '13' \
--query 'DBEngineVersions[*].ValidUpgradeTarget[*].{AutoUpgrade:AutoUpgrade,EngineVersion:EngineVersion}[?AutoUpgrade==`true`][]'
# Start upgrading.
aws rds modify-db-instance --db-instance-identifier 'my-db-instance' --engine-version '14.20' --no-apply-immediately
aws rds modify-db-instance … --apply-immediately
```
- Enable automatic updates for the instance.
Unless changes are applied immediately, RDS schedules the upgrade to run automatically in the preferred maintenance
window.
Automatic upgrades incur downtime too.<br/>
The length of the downtime depends on various factors, including the DB engine type and the size of the database.
During the upgrade, RDS:
1. Runs a system pre-check to make sure the database can be upgraded.
1. Upgrades the DB engine to the target minor engine version.
1. Runs post-upgrade checks.
1. Marks the database upgrade as complete.
