Are the PGO (Profile Guided Optimization) tools available in Visual Studio 2019 Community Edition?

According to this demo there should be an extra context-menu item when right-clicking on a project with sub-options "Instrument", "Update", "Optimize" and "Run".

In the Community edition I do not see these options.

Is there a specific option I should enable in the installer or is this feature simply not available in the community edition?

I could not find anything about PGO in the comparison chart.

According to the comment made in the demo video (in 2012) it is only available in Pro-plus SKUs of Visual Studio.

An alternative is to use GCC which has PGO features.
