Watch Desk posted an update
AWS has announced new Amazon RDS Extended Support minor versions for PostgreSQL 11, 12 and 13. They provide up to three extra years of critical vulnerability and bug fixes beyond each major version’s standard support end date.
Why it mattersDatabase teams can upgrade in place, use Blue/Green Deployments or restore from a snapshot, AWS says. The extra runway is useful, though it does not make an eventual major-version upgrade disappear into the cloud.
Discuss: Is extended support a sensible way to buy time for a database upgrade, or does it encourage teams to postpone one for too long?
