Notice

Here's the official report from Microsoft:

Because community support for PostgreSQL version 11 will end on 9 November 2023, you’ll need to migrate your Azure Database for PostgreSQL Single Servers that use version 11 to version 13 or higher on Flexible Server.

To ensure you have enough time to make this change, Azure Database for PostgreSQL will continue to support version 11 on Single Server for an additional year, through 9 November 2024, including creating new servers.
