Explanation

Nutanix Database Service (NDB) supports automated minor version upgrades for PostgreSQL. Before applying the patch, the administrator should create a new software profile. This is because the software profile contains the database engine binaries and other software required to run the database engine. Therefore, to apply a minor version upgrade, a new software profile with the updated binaries needs to be created. Once the new software profile is created, it can be used to patch the PostgreSQL database.
