MVU for PostgreSQL to V18 in UK South Region

Question

Hello,

With the GA announcement for V18 in all regions at the start of December last year with the note that not all regions were supported for MVU but were being rolled out in 'the next few weeks' could someone tell me the timeline for rollout to the UK South region please?

Answer 1

Hi Harry Bridge,

Major version upgrades to version 18 will be completed by mid-February tentative in UK South region.

Answer 2

Hi Harry Bridge,
I understand you’re looking for an update on the timeline for the rollout of MVU (Major Version Upgrade) for PostgreSQL to V18 in the UK South region.

As of now, the MVU to PostgreSQL 18 is being rolled out in phases across various regions. The current regions where MVU to PostgreSQL 18 is available include Australia Southeast, Canada Central, Central India, Central US, East Asia, East US 2, North Central US, South Africa North, South Central US, Sweden Central, West Central US, West US 2, and West US 3.

Unfortunately, specific timelines for when it will be available in the UK South region have not been provided, and it seems that updates are rolling out incrementally. If you require an urgent upgrade, it might be advisable to submit a support request with Azure Support for more direct assistance.

You can keep an eye on updates regarding this feature and check if there are any new announcements or support options for your region.

Here's a quick reference list of relevant documentation that might help you:

• Major version upgrade with PostgreSQL Flexible Server
• Upgrade to PostgreSQL major version
• Azure PostgreSQL versioning policy

I hope this helps! If you have any other questions or need further assistance, feel free to ask.

Answer 3

Hi ,

Thanks for reaching out to Microsoft Q&A.

There is no official published timeline from MS yet for when MVU to PostgreSQL 18 will be enabled in the UK South Azure region. PostgreSQL 18 is GA and deployable across all Azure public regions, and MVU has begun rolling out region by region, but only a subset of regions have MVU enabled so far. Microsoft’s documentation notes that additional regions (beyond those already live) will be enabled “over the next few weeks” as the global rollout completes, but no specific date or week has been confirmed for UK South.
