Can we install TimescaleDB as a postgres extension on AWS RDS for postgres?

Question

A naive question on RDS: TimescaleDB acts as a postgres extension. As an AWS user, can I install TimescaleDB as a postgres extension on AWS RDS for postgres?

Answer 1

TimescaleDB is not available through AWS RDS.

Further, TimescaleDB's licensing [0] means that Amazon cannot offer the "community" version of TimescaleDB that includes many of its advanced features. Timescale (the company) does offer a fully-managed cloud on AWS, however. [1]
