Cannot create aurora read replica due to version error

1

Hi,

Trying to create a aurora read replica from an RDS instance as per this article: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonRDS/latest/AuroraUserGuide/AuroraMySQL.Migrating.RDSMySQL.Replica.html

But I get the following error from the AWS UI. When we did a dry run last time this worked correctly. Is there a way to do this

Cannot upgrade from mysql 8.0.33 to aurora-mysql 8.0.mysql_aurora.3.04.0.Specify a current active database version, the latest active minor version for mysql 8.0 is 8.0.33.

Thanks

Hello.

As stated in the document below, "Aurora MySQL 3.04" is compatible with "MySQL 8.0.28".
In other words, I think the error is occurring because RDS MySQL of "MySQL 8.0.33" is not compatible with Aurora MySQL 3.04.
https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonRDS/latest/AuroraUserGuide/Aurora.VersionPolicy.html#Aurora.VersionPolicy.MinorVersions

Currently, I think that the only possible migration method is to obtain a dump file from RDS MySQL using MySQLdump, etc., and then import it into Aurora MySQL.
Otherwise, I think it is better to wait for Aurora MySQL to be compatible with "MySQL 8.0.33".

  • Do you have an ETA on when .33 will be ready? Migrating using a dump will necessitate a long downtime, compared to using binlog replication. I don't think it's possible to downgrade either?

  • Unfortunately, AWS has not yet announced support for "MySQL 8.0.33" compatibility. Yes, migration using mysqldump will require significant downtime. I don't think downgrading is officially supported by AWS. I think it is possible to downgrade using the method described in StackOverflow below, but it is a little complicated, so I think it is better to wait until Aurora MySQL supports "MySQL 8.0.33" rather than doing this. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/40839113/is-it-possible-to-downgrade-a-aws-rds-from-mysql-5-7-to-lower-version-say-5-6
