Amazon Aurora PostgreSQL-Compatible Edition supports the Partition Manager (pg_partman) extension in AWS GovCloud (US) regions. pg_partman is a PostgreSQL extension that helps you to manage both time series and serial-based table partition sets, including automatic management of partition creation and runtime maintenance. pg_partman works with PostgreSQL native partitioning so users can benefit from significant performance enhancements.

You can view a list of all PostgreSQL extensions supported on RDS on the AWS User Guide. With this regional expansion, pg_partman is available in all commercial regions. For full feature parity list, head to our feature parity page, and to see all the regions that support Amazon Aurora head to our region page.

Amazon Aurora combines the performance and availability of high-end commercial databases with the simplicity and cost-effectiveness of open source databases. It provides up to three times better performance than the typical PostgreSQL database, together with increased scalability, durability, and security. For more information, please visit the Amazon Aurora product page. To get started with Amazon Aurora, take a look at our getting started page.
