<p>Amazon Aurora PostgreSQL-Compatible Edition now supports PostgreSQL versions 18.4, 17.10, 16.14, 15.18, and 14.23 which include bug fixes from the PostgreSQL community and Aurora-specific enhancements. We recommend upgrading to the latest minor versions to address known Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVEs) and benefit from these improvements, as detailed in the <a href="https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonRDS/latest/AuroraPostgreSQLReleaseNotes/AuroraPostgreSQL.Updates.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">release notes</a>.&nbsp;</p>
<p>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 <a href="https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonRDS/latest/AuroraUserGuide/Aurora.Maintenance.AMVU.UpgradeRollout.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Upgrade Rollout Policy</a> to orchestrate multiple upgrades in phases, validating on lower-priority environments before upgrading your most critical ones.
