Microsoft isn't its "partner", they were entirely bought by Microsoft. The goal is to make the technology an advantage for Azure, as I understand it. It's very unlikely you'll see them offer first-party support for RDS, or CloudSQL.
Yeah it's a bit of a shame they were bought by one of the cloud providers.
Would've been great if something like Cruncy Bridge, PgAnalyze and Citus were merged into one company so that you have managed Postgres over the 3 major providers with the best pg tech out the box.
Having your DB and apps in different providers is a stuff up, the latency and data transfer costs killed us, so Citus was a non start (we don't want to manage it ourselves in EC2).
