Amazon Aurora now supports PostgreSQL 17.7, 16.11, 15.15, 14.20 and 13.23

Amazon Aurora PostgreSQL-Compatible Edition has added support for PostgreSQL versions 17.7, 16.11, 15.15, 14.20 and 13.23\. The [update](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonRDS/latest/AuroraPostgreSQLReleaseNotes/AuroraPostgreSQL.Updates.html) includes the PostgreSQL community's product improvements and bug fixes, and also includes Aurora-specific enhancements. The release includes improvements to Blue Green deployments, resulting in reduced switchover times by limiting new commits on the primary instance. There are also enhancements to Query Plan Management (QPM), and improved instance recovery times by optimizing commit log loading during database recovery. To use the new versions, create a new Aurora PostgreSQL-compatible database with just a few clicks in the Amazon RDS Management Console. You can also upgrade your existing database. Please review the Aurora [documentation](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonRDS/latest/AuroraUserGuide/USER%5FUpgradeDBInstance.PostgreSQL.html) to learn more about upgrading. Refer to the [Aurora version policy](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonRDS/latest/AuroraUserGuide/Aurora.VersionPolicy.html) to help you to decide how often to upgrade and how to plan your upgrade process. These releases are available in all commercial AWS Regions and the AWS GovCloud (US) Regions. Amazon Aurora is designed for unparalleled high performance and availability at global scale with full MySQL and PostgreSQL compatibility. It provides built-in security, continuous backups, serverless compute, up to 15 read replicas, automated multi-Region replication, and integrations with other AWS services.
