Change Summary
AWS Bedrock updated its Amazon RDS service terms on May 30, 2026, adding new provisions governing Trusted Language Extensions, engine end-of-life management, and RDS Custom. The updated terms establish that extension code falls under customer content, require customers to upgrade to supported database engine versions when old versions reach end of life, authorize AWS to scan extension code for security purposes, and permit AWS to snapshot and delete instances running unsupported software after providing notice. These changes create new customer obligations around database engine maintenance and establish AWS liability limitations for failures caused by extensions or obsolete software.
