Version numbers on Amazon RDS for PostgreSQL are identical to those of PostgreSQL. As a general guidance, new versions of the PostgreSQL engine become available on Amazon RDS within 5 months of their general availability.
Major versions (x in Amazon RDS terminology for versions >= 10) are supported
until the PostgreSQL end of life, with a minimum of 3 years from their release date
on Amazon RDS. Minor versions (x.y in Amazon RDS terminology for versions >= 10) are supported at
least for 1 year after their release date on Amazon RDS. Note that in some cases Amazon may
deprecate specific major or minor versions sooner, such as when there are security issues.
Depending on the configuration, the kind of version (major or minor) and their deprecation status, upgrades can be manual, automatic or forced. When a minor release is deprecated, users are expected to upgrade within a 3 months period. This period is increased to 6 months for major releases. Upgrades are performed during the configured scheduled maintenance windows. These windows are initially set automatically by AWS but can be overridden in the AWS console.
For the most up-to-date information about the Amazon RDS deprecation policy for PostgreSQL, see Amazon RDS FAQs.
On the RDS end of standard support date, Amazon RDS automatically enrolls your databases in RDS Extended Support. RDS Extended Support is a paid offering available for up to 3 years past the RDS end of standard support date for a major engine version, see Using Amazon RDS Extended Support.
