Amazon RDS for PostgreSQL supports minor versions 18.3, 17.9, 16.13, 15.17, and 14.22
Amazon Relational Database Service (RDS) for PostgreSQL now supports the latest minor versions 18.3, 17.9, 16.13, 15.17, and 14.22. These versions address the regression from the February 12, 2026, PostgreSQL community release. We recommend that you upgrade to the latest minor versions to fix known security vulnerabilities in prior versions of PostgreSQL, and to benefit from the bug fixes added by the PostgreSQL community.
You can upgrade your databases during scheduled maintenance windows using automatic minor version upgrades. To simplify operations at scale, enable automatic minor version upgrades and use the Amazon Organizations Upgrade Rollout Policy to orchestrate thousands of upgrades in phases, first to development environments before upgrading production systems. You can also use Amazon RDS Blue/Green deployments with physical replication to minimize downtime for minor version upgrades.
Amazon RDS for PostgreSQL helps make it easy to set up, operate, and scale PostgreSQL deployments in the cloud. Amazon RDS for PostgreSQL is available in Amazon Web Services China (Beijing) Region, operated by Sinnet and Amazon Web Services China (Ningxia) Region, operated by NWCD.
