AWS Lightsail Databases: Loading data from s3 into Postgres using the aws_s3 postgres extension.

Question

Previously, using AWS RDS for Postgres, I have loaded data directly from s3 buckets into psotgres database tables using functions such as ***aws_s3.table_import_from_s3***

Does this same functionality exist when using a **AWS Lightsail postgres database instance**. I ask because while I can see the extensions when listing all available postgres extensions but am unable to invoke it.

Reference to the RDS documentation: (I am unable to find a lightsail equivalent)
https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonRDS/latest/UserGuide/USER_PostgreSQL.S3Import.html

```
Some AWS resources, such as Amazon S3, Amazon CloudFront, and Amazon DynamoDB don't require VPC peering to be enabled.

Have you tried enabling VPC Peering? It enabled AWS resources outside of Amazon Lightsail: https://lightsail.aws.amazon.com/ls/docs/en_us/articles/lightsail-how-to-set-up-vpc-peering-with-aws-resources
