Amazon Aurora PostgreSQL-Compatible Edition Updates

Amazon Aurora PostgreSQL-Compatible Edition now supports PostgreSQL versions 17.9, 16.13, 15.17, and 14.22, including bug fixes and Aurora-specific enhancements. We recommend upgrading to the latest minor versions to address security vulnerabilities and benefit from these improvements.

What to do

  • Upgrade your databases during scheduled maintenance windows using automatic minor version upgrades.
  • Enable automatic minor version upgrades and use the AWS Organizations Upgrade Rollout Policy to manage upgrades in phases.
  • Utilize Aurora's zero-downtime patching to minimize downtime for minor version upgrades.

Amazon Aurora offers high performance, availability, and full PostgreSQL compatibility with features like scale-to-zero serverless compute, Aurora Global Database, Aurora I/O-Optimized, and built-in security and continuous backups. For more information, visit our getting started page.
