Impacts and suggestions

Impacts

When you purchase an ApsaraDB RDS for PostgreSQL instance, you can no longer select an end-of-sale instance type.
You can continue to use existing ApsaraDB RDS for PostgreSQL instances that use end-of-sale instance types. However, you cannot select an end-of-sale instance type in specific scenarios. For example, you cannot select an end-of-sale instance type when you restore the data of an ApsaraDB RDS for PostgreSQL instance, upgrade the major engine version of an ApsaraDB RDS for PostgreSQL instance, or create a read-only ApsaraDB RDS for PostgreSQL instance. For more information, see Restore the data of an ApsaraDB RDS for PostgreSQL instance, Upgrade the major engine version of an ApsaraDB RDS for PostgreSQL instance, or Create a read-only ApsaraDB RDS for PostgreSQL instance.

Suggestions

The specifications of 1 core and 2 GB of memory can no longer meet the requirements for performance and stability. Therefore, the following ApsaraDB RDS for PostgreSQL instance types that provide 1 core and 2 GB of memory will be discontinued: pg.n2.small.2c and rds.pg.s1.small. You can purchase ApsaraDB RDS for PostgreSQL instances with higher specifications.
After the pg.n2.medium.2c instance type is discontinued, we recommend that you purchase ApsaraDB RDS for PostgreSQL instances that use the pg.x2.medium.2c or pg.n2.2c.2m instance type.
