title: How to update an Aurora Serverless MySQL cluster?
body: <p>AWS has announced a &quot;generally available&quot; update for Aurora Serverless MySQL v1 cluster in their documentation:
  <a href="https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonRDS/latest/AuroraUserGuide/AuroraMySQL.Updates.serverless_2_08_03.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonRDS/latest/AuroraUserGuide/AuroraMySQL.Updates.serverless_2_08_03.html</a></p>
  <p>However, when creating a new DB cluster, only the existing 2.07.1 version is available. I cannot find any option to update to 2.08.3.</p>
  <p>The CLI lists 2.07.1 only:</p>
  <pre><code>aws rds describe-db-engine-versions --engine aurora-mysql --query 'DBEngineVersions[?contains(SupportedEngineModes,`serverless`)].EngineVersion'
  </code></pre>
  <p>output:</p>
  <pre><code>[
      &quot;5.7.mysql_aurora.2.07.1&quot;
  ]
  </code></pre>
  <p>The same is true for MySQL 5.6:
