Product updates for Azure Cosmos DB for PostgreSQL

APPLIES TO: PostgreSQL

Release notes

Azure Cosmos DB for PostgreSQL gets updated regularly.

Updates that don’t directly affect the internals of a cluster are rolled out gradually to all supported regions. Once such an update is rolled out to a region, it's available immediately on all new and existing Azure Cosmos DB for PostgreSQL clusters in that region.

Updates that change cluster internals, such as installing a new minor PostgreSQL version, are delivered to existing clusters as part of the next scheduled maintenance event. Such updates are available immediately to newly created clusters.
