Supported features in Amazon RDS by AWS Region and DB engine
Support for Amazon RDS features and options varies across AWS Regions and specific versions of each DB engine. To identify RDS DB engine version support and availability in a given AWS Region, you can use the following sections.
Amazon RDS features are different from engine-native features and options. For more information on engine-native features and options, see Engine-native features.

Table conventions
The tables in the feature sections use these patterns to specify version numbers and level of availability:
-
Version x.y – The specific version alone is available.
-
Version x.y and higher – The specified version and all higher minor versions of its major version are supported. For example, "version 10.11 and higher" means that versions 10.11, 10.11.1, and 10.12 are available.
