Amazon DocumentDB announces Extended Support for Version 3.6
Amazon DocumentDB (with MongoDB compatibility) offers Extended Support for version 3.6, allowing customers to maintain critical workloads on version 3.6 for up to three years beyond the standard support end date on March 30, 2026. This is designed for customers who may need more time to plan and implement version upgrades, especially when navigating application dependencies or managing enterprise-scale deployments.
Standard support for Amazon DocumentDB version 3.6 will end on March 30, 2026. After this date, clusters not upgraded to a supported version will incur Extended Support charges. During the Extended Support period, we will continue to provide critical security updates for Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVEs). To perform an upgrade from Amazon DocumentDB version 3.6 to 5.0, customers can use an in-place major version upgrade. Upgrading to version 5.0 of Amazon DocumentDB enables customers to benefit from features such as I/O-Optimized, Graviton2, and Serverless instances, providing price per performance improvements.
Amazon DocumentDB Extended Support will be available in China Regions, starting March 31, 2026. Learn more about Extended Support in the Amazon DocumentDB Extended Support user guide. Learn more about pricing details and timelines for Amazon DocumentDB Extended Support at Amazon DocumentDB Pricing.
