Amazon RDS for PostgreSQL now supports PostgreSQL minor versions 10.3, 9.6.8, 9.5.12, 9.4.17, and 9.3.22 in the AWS GovCloud (US) region. This release fixes PostgreSQL security vulnerabilities included in current and previous minor releases by the PostgreSQL community and contains additional bug fixes and improvements.
With this update, we have also added support for the ‘amcheck’ extension to verify the logical consistency of the structure of indexes in PostgreSQL version 10.3; pg_hint_plan extension has been upgraded to 1.2.2 in PostgreSQL 9.6.8; and PLV8 extension has been updated to version 2.1.0 in PostgreSQL version 9.6.8, 9.5.12, 9.4.17, and 9.3.22.
To use the new versions, you can create a new Amazon RDS for PostgreSQL database instance with just a few clicks in the AWS Management Console, or upgrade an existing instance using point-and-click upgrades. An upgrade operation involves a short period of unavailability for your database instance. Learn more about upgrading your database instances from the Amazon RDS User Guide.
Amazon RDS for PostgreSQL makes it easy to set up, operate, and scale PostgreSQL deployments in the cloud. See Amazon RDS for PostgreSQL Pricing for regional availability.
