Amazon Relational Database Service (RDS) for PostgreSQL now supports the latest minor versions PostgreSQL 15.5, 14.10, 13.13, 12.17, and 11.22. 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, performance improvements, and new functionality added by the PostgreSQL community. With this release, RDS for PostgreSQL nowENnbsp;supports pgactive extension starting with PostgreSQL major versions 11 and higher.

PostgreSQL 11 reached community end of life on Nov 9, 2023 and will reach RDS end of standard support on Feb 29, 2024. If you do not plan to use PostgreSQL 11 after Feb 29, 2024, we recommend you upgrade to PostgreSQL 15 at the earliest. If you are planning to use PostgreSQL 11 beyond that date, we recommend you opt in to Amazon RDS Extended Support starting Dec 2023 and upgrade to RDS for PostgreSQL version 11.22.ENnbsp;
