To assist customers in managing PostgreSQL database lifecycle, Amazon Relational Database Service (RDS) announced Extended Support releases for minor versions 12.22 and 11.22. These updates address known security vulnerabilities and software bugs while providing customers with up to three additional years to upgrade to newer major PostgreSQL versions, aligning with business continuity and compliance needs.
Extended Support allows users to maintain secure, stable database environments even after community support for a PostgreSQL major version ends. RDS supports automatic minor version upgrades during scheduled maintenance windows to streamline patching. These releases are available across all AWS commercial and government cloud regions, facilitating flexible, managed PostgreSQL deployment for varying user requirements.
