I have successfully launched new AWS RDS PostgreSQL v10 instance and need to install PostgreSQL v10 client on Amazon Linux EC2 instance.
I have tried to install it with yum, but it cant find the package for v10:
[ec2-user@ip-X-X-X-X ~]$ sudo yum install -y postgresql10 Loaded plugins: priorities, update-motd, upgrade-helper amzn-main | 2.1 kB 00:00:00 amzn-updates | 2.5 kB 00:00:00 No package postgresql110 available. Error: Nothing to do Previously I managed to install PostgreSQL client v9.5 with:
[ec2-user@ip-X-X-X-X ~]$ sudo yum install -y postgresql95 I guess I need to add Postgres yum repository, as mentioned in https://www.postgresql.org/download/linux/redhat/. But what Platform should I choose for Amazon Linux? Red Hat?

We use Postgres on EC2 only for our primary data store. As for reasons why we use EC2: Cost - Our primary data store has >1 Petabyte of raw data stored across dozens of Postgres instances. The amount of data we store is at the point where RDS is too expensive for us.
Amazon Linux Extras Extras is a mechanism in Amazon Linux 2 to enable the consumption of new versions of application software on a stable operating system that is supported until June 30, 2024. Extras help alleviate the compromise between the stability of the OS and freshness of available software.
You can try to run the following command on your Linux server:
sudo amazon-linux-extras install postgresql10 If you love us? You can donate to us via Paypal or buy me a coffee so we can maintain and grow! Thank you!
