Is Postgres sharding available on Aurora (AWS)

Question

I need to shard and/or partition my largeish Postgres db tables. The Postgres partitioning functionality seems crazy heavyweight (in terms of DDL). I see talk from <=2015 about pg_shard, but am unsure of the availabilty in Aurora, or even if one uses a different mechanism.

I would like something on the order of a "Key" Redshift-style distribution method. Furthermore, it would be great if there was some way to do it on a multi-colum basis (I can make a "fake concatenated column" if need be)

From @nathanlong's comment to my question:

On Sep 25, 2018, they announced "Amazon Aurora with PostgreSQL Compatibility Supports PostgreSQL 10" - https://aws.amazon.com/about-aws/whats-new/2018/09/amazon-aurora-postgresql-compatibility-supports-postgresql104/. They explicitly mentioned "native table partitioning", though there are features in PosgreSQL 11 that presumably are not included; see https://pgdash.io/blog/postgres-11-sharding.html.
