Amazon RDS for MariaDB supports the latest community versions, introducing post-quantum TLS key exchange and security enhancements

Amazon RDS for MariaDB now supports the latest community MariaDB minor versions 10.6.28, 10.11.19, 11.4.13, 11.8.9, and 12.3.3. These versions introduce post-quantum TLS key exchange, providing post-quantum encryption options for data in transit. We recommend upgrading for fixes to CVEs, bug corrections, performance improvements, and new features. Upgrades can be performed using Amazon RDS blue/green deployment, in-place upgrade, or restoration from a snapshot. Enabling automatic minor version upgrades allows AWS Organizations to roll out upgrades across clusters using upgrade rollout policies. RDS for MariaDB simplifies deploying, operating, and scaling MariaDB in the cloud.
