December 25, 2016 by Leave a Comment

The 27th leap second will be officially applied December 31, 2016 at 23:59:60 UTC. For Oracle DB instances on RDS the following applies:

  • RDS will spread out the leap second equally in the 24h surrounding the timestamp above.
  • After this period RDS time will be in sync with  Cordinated Universal Time.
  • This applies for Oracle DB instances with versions 11.2.0.2, 11.2.0.3, and 12.1.0.1. They will follow AWS Adjusted Time that is applied to RDS.
