No longer possible to restore snapshot to serverless?

0

Hello, during our QA process we routinely restore a snapshot from production system to a serverless Aurora MySQL cluster and from there reload the staging environment. Today I noticed that I can no longer restore a snapshot to a serverless instance but instead had to select provisioned. Is this a know issue due to deprecation of old versions? Snapshot created from a RDS running 5.7.24 of MySQL.

I heard that the restoration can be done with AWS CLI, but do I get any errors when I run it with the command?
https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonRDS/latest/AuroraUserGuide/aurora-serverless.restorefromsnapshot.html

aws rds restore-db-cluster-from-snapshot \
    --db-cluster-identifier mynewdbcluster \
    --snapshot-identifier mydbclustersnapshot \
    --engine-mode serverless \
    --engine aurora-mysql \
    --engine-version 5.7

The following document shows that 5.7.24 is already an unsupported version, so it is important to check if it is possible to restore server-less if the version is upgraded.

  • Haven't tested through the CLI. Could be that some issues have been identified, I have noticed the UI for restoring has changed multiple times the last couple of months.

  • The AWS UI can change frequently, so it is recommended to use the CLI if you can.
