Patch a PostgreSQL Managed Database

Apply security patches and updates to the underlying operating system of the PostgreSQL Managed Database. This function runs during regular maintenance windows, which you can configure with the Update a managed PostgreSQL database operation.

• The user needs read_write user grant access to the database.

• The database's status needs to be active.

• If your database cluster is configured with a single node, downtime occurs during maintenance updates. Consider upgrading to a high availability plan to avoid any maintenance downtime.

• Major upgrades are optional until the service reaches end of service, and can be done in place.
