Amazon Aurora for PostgreSQL continues to bring new features and updates to enhance your database experience. Here are the latest additions:
<ul>
<li>
h3-pg support for geospatial indexing: With the h3-pg extension, you can now perform efficient spatial analysis and machine learning modeling over large datasets stored in Aurora PostgreSQL. This opens up new possibilities for advanced geospatial applications.
</li>
<li>
Automatic enrollment into Amazon RDS Extended Support: Starting on February 29, 2024, your MySQL 5.7 and PostgreSQL 11 databases running on Amazon Aurora and Amazon RDS will be automatically enrolled into the RDS Extended Support program. This ensures that you receive critical security patches and bug fixes beyond the community’s end of support for these major versions. Upgrading to newer versions before the start of RDS Extended Support can help you avoid higher charges and unlock additional features and performance improvements.
</li>
<li>
Support for PostgreSQL 15.5, 14.10, 13.13, and 12.17: The latest update brings support for multiple PostgreSQL versions, including 15.5, 14.10, 13.13, and 12.17. In addition to bug fixes and product improvements, these versions introduce new features such as group role authentication support and integration with Amazon Bedrock for Generative AI. If you’re currently using Amazon Aurora PostgreSQL 11, make sure to upgrade before February 2024 to stay up to date.

</ul>
Stay tuned for more updates as Amazon Aurora for PostgreSQL continues to evolve and provide advanced capabilities for your database workloads.
