What this pane shows

Database and Kubernetes engine versions running past their standard-support EOL — for example, MySQL 5.7, PostgreSQL 11, EKS 1.26. AWS continues to provide patches under Extended Support but charges a substantial monthly surcharge per engine-vCPU-hour. Each row shows the current version, the surcharge being incurred, and the AWS-recommended upgrade target.

Key use cases

Identify the engine upgrades that will eliminate the largest monthly surcharge.
Plan an upgrade calendar with concrete dollar savings per upgrade.
Catch a new instance that was launched on an Extended-Support engine by accident.
Brief leadership on the cost-vs-effort case for a database modernisation programme.
