I received a notice stating that my MySQL 8.0.40 will be deprecated early next year. They recommended upgrading to MySQL 8.4. However, I'm running into an issue: when I create a snapshot of my database, it only allows me to open a new database using older blueprints instead of the newer 8.4 version. What steps should I take to properly upgrade to the new MySQL blueprint?

If you're using RDS snapshots, you can upgrade the engine after taking a snapshot. Make sure to check if there are upgrade options available in your snapshot. If not, you might need to create a completely new database and restore it using a dump from your existing one.
I faced something similar on Lightsail. I ended up linking both my old and new databases to MySQL Workbench and used the transfer wizard. It was super quick—took just about 5 minutes!
Just a heads-up! If you're running on AWS Lightsail, remember you'll be transitioning to the main AWS platform soon. So, if you're still working with old resources, be prepared to move everything over when the time comes!
I actually fixed my issue by using the MySQL Workbench transfer wizard too. Just selected the source and destination, and it worked like a charm!
