RDS DB clusters should have automatic minor version upgrade enabled
Description
Checks if automatic minor version upgrade is enabled for an Amazon RDS Multi-AZ DB cluster. RDS provides automatic minor version upgrade so that you can keep your Multi-AZ DB cluster up to date. Minor versions can introduce new software features, bug fixes, security patches, and performance improvements. By enabling automatic minor version upgrade on RDS database clusters, the cluster, along with the instances in the cluster, will receive automatic updates to the minor version when new versions are available. The updates are applied automatically during the maintenance window.
Remediation
To remediate this issue, enable automatic minor version upgrade for your RDS DB clusters to ensure they receive security patches and updates automatically.
Steps
- Go to the AWS RDS console
- Select the DB cluster that needs automatic minor version upgrade enabled
- Go to the 'Configuration' tab
- Enable 'Auto minor version upgrade'
- Save the changes and wait for the configuration to apply
