Working with the supported foreign data wrappers for Amazon RDS for PostgreSQL

A foreign data wrapper (FDW) is a specific type of extension that provides access to external data.

As another example, by using the PostgreSQL native postgres_fdw extension you can access data stored in PostgreSQL DB instances external to your RDS for PostgreSQL DB instance.
