Hey @adam7486
I’m hoping someone wiser will jump in and answer this!
I am looking at some docs that we have here
and the version of Postgresql mentioned is Foreman supports PostgreSQL version 12.1. These docs definitely need some work from what I can see, and I’m hoping someone else can validate this also, but it also looks like this is possible for RHEL systems only.

@adam7486 there shouldn’t be any issues with installing Katello on postgres 12.5. My development environment is using it. The only thing you may need to worry about is the postgresql-evr extension that Katello uses. As long as you can install RPMs on your AWS postgres box you should be fine.
