Following the announcement of updates to the PostgreSQL database, we have added support in HAQM Relational Database Service (HAQM RDS) for PostgreSQL minor versions 13.4, 12.8, 11.13, 10.18, and 9.6.23. We have also added support in HAQM RDS on Outposts for PostgreSQL minor versions 13.4 and 12.8. This release closes security vulnerabilities in PostgreSQL and contains bug fixes and improvements done by the PostgreSQL community.

This release also adds support for PostGIS 3.1 and updates the pglogical extension to version 2.4.0.  PostGIS allows you to store, query and analyze the geospatial data within a PostgreSQL database. pglogical replication provides fine-grained control over replicating and synchronizing parts of a database. For example, you can use logical replication to replicate an individual table of a database. Please see the list of supported extensions in the HAQM RDS User Guide for specific versions.

HAQM RDS for PostgreSQL makes it easy to set up, operate, and scale PostgreSQL deployments in the cloud. Learn more about upgrading your database instances from the HAQM RDS User Guide. See HAQM RDS for PostgreSQL Pricing for pricing details and regional availability. Create or update a fully managed HAQM RDS database in the HAQM RDS Management Console.
