Hello,
We are using Postgres 11.6 through AWS relational database service. As part of
its RDS service AWS offers automatic minor version upgrade. If we turn this
setting on the minor versions will get upgraded without us even knowing about
it. We are in a security sensitive vertical so we would like to ensure we don't
miss out on critical security patches and bug fixes. We also use AWS Multi
Availability Zones which I believe is built upon Postgres hot standby HA
feature.
We are not very clear on what are the possible risks we may be opening
ourselves up to if we did automatic minor version. I would appreciate any
suggestions on how to go about understanding the potential risks with using
automatic minor version upgrade.
Thanks,
Shantanu
