Changing engine mode of aurora cluster from provisioned to serverless


We have a Aurora Mysql provisioned serverless v2 cluster running with 8.0.mysql_aurora.3.04.0. We want it to convert to Serverless v1. I got to know that Serverless v1 requires engine mode as "Serverless" But I don't see any option to change engine mode from Provisioned to Serverless v1. Just wanted to confirm if someone already modified existing provisioned cluster to serverless. Thanks !!


Solution

  • You can convert Serverless v1 to provisioned [1], but not the other way around. A workaround would be to take a snapshot of your database and restore it to a Serverless v1 cluster, but in your case, this wouldn't work because Serverless v1 does not support MySQL 8 [2].
