Amazon Relational Database Service (RDS) for PostgreSQL now supports modifying the ssl_ciphers parameter. SSL Ciphers (or cipher suites) are combinations of algorithms used to secure network connections between a client and server. They handle key exchange, authentication, encryption, and message integrity verification to ensure secure and confidential communication.
Amazon RDS for PostgreSQL 16.1 and later will support modification of the ssl_ciphers parameter. You can select cipher suites from the Amazon RDS for PostgreSQL allow list to align with your organization's security standards and maintain consistent security configurations across database deployments.
Amazon RDS for PostgreSQL helps make it easy to set up, operate, and scale PostgreSQL deployments in the cloud. Amazon RDS for PostgreSQL is available in Amazon Web Services China (Beijing) Region, operated by Sinnet and Amazon Web Services China (Ningxia) Region, operated by NWCD. See Amazon RDS for PostgreSQL Pricing for pricing details and regional availability. Create or update a fully managed Amazon RDS database in the Amazon RDS Management Console.
