RDS for PostgreSQL Versioning Policy¶
The PostgreSQL community releases a new major version containing new features about once a year. Each major version receives bug fixes and, if need be, security fixes that are released at least once every three months in what we call a "minor release." The PostgreSQL community supports a major version for five years after its initial release. After its five-year anniversary, a major version will have one last minor release containing any fixes and will be considered end-of-life (EOL) and no longer supported.
RDS for PostgreSQL provides cloud database services based on the PostgreSQL open-source community. This section describes the versioning policy of RDS for PostgreSQL. When creating a DB instance or migrating data, you need to select a suitable version.
