Summary

This PR resolves a configuration issue in the PostgreSQL CloudFormation template that was preventing major version upgrades of RDS instances.

Key Changes

  • Added the AllowMajorVersionUpgrade parameter to the PostgreSQL RDS configuration
  • Enables controlled major version upgrades for PostgreSQL databases when needed

Accomplishments

  • ✅ Removes upgrade restriction that could block critical security updates
  • ✅ Provides flexibility for planned database version migrations
  • ✅ Maintains backward compatibility with existing deployments

Breaking Changes

None. This change only adds capability and does not modify existing behavior for current deployments.

Testing Notes

  • Verify that existing PostgreSQL instances remain unaffected
  • Test that major version upgrades can now be performed when the parameter is explicitly set
  • Confirm that the default behavior (no automatic upgrades) is preserved

Infrastructure Considerations

  • This change affects RDS PostgreSQL instances managed by CloudFormation
  • Major version upgrades should still be planned and tested in non-production environments first
  • Consider database compatibility requirements before initiating major version upgrades
  • Monitor applications for any compatibility issues after version upgrades
