Amazon Aurora now supports PostgreSQL 17.9, 16.13, 15.17, and 14.22

Amazon Aurora PostgreSQL-Compatible Edition now supports PostgreSQL versions 17.9, 16.13, 15.17, and 14.22 that includes bug fixes from the PostgreSQL community and Aurora-specific enhancements. We recommend upgrading to the latest minor versions to address known security vulnerabilities and benefit from these improvements, as detailed in these [release notes](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonRDS/latest/AuroraPostgreSQLReleaseNotes/AuroraPostgreSQL.Updates.html). 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 AWS Organizations [Upgrade Rollout Policy](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonRDS/latest/AuroraUserGuide/Aurora.Maintenance.AMVU.UpgradeRollout.html) to orchestrate thousands of upgrades in phases, first to development environments before upgrading production systems. You can also use Aurora's [zero-downtime patching](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonRDS/latest/AuroraUserGuide/USER%5FUpgradeDBInstance.PostgreSQL.html) to minimize downtime for minor version upgrades. Amazon Aurora is designed for unparalleled high performance and availability at global scale with full PostgreSQL compatibility. It provides scale-to-zero serverless compute, Aurora Global Database for multi-Region resilience, Aurora I/O-Optimized for improved price performance on I/O-intensive workloads, and built-in security and continuous backups.
