PostgreSQL on Elastic Beanstalk (Amazon Linux 2)

With former generation of Amazon Linux, all I needed to do is add the following in .ebextensions in order to use PostgreSQL:

packages:
    yum:
        postgresql93-devel: []

Now when I deploy on EB with the following platform: Python 3.7 running on 64bit Amazon Linux 2/3.0.0

I get the following error on deployment:

[ERROR] Error occurred during build: Yum does not have postgresql93-devel available for installation

Therefore it is impossible to deploy as I need to connect to a PostgreSQL database in RDS.

What config in .ebextensions do I need to do?

yum amazon-elastic-beanstalk amazon-web-services

linux

postgresql

The following works:

packages:
    yum:
        amazon-linux-extras: []

commands:
    01_postgres_activate:
        command: sudo amazon-linux-extras enable postgresql10
    02_postgres_install:
        command: sudo yum install -y postgresql-devel

Your perspective belongs here.

Amazon Linux 2 moved some packages to amazon-linux-extras. That could be one of the things
