No documentation for aurora mysql 8 serverless

Having issues finding out what the cluster family should be for mysql 8 aurora? Any ideas?

Hi,
run this one-liner aws cli command on your terminal/shell to get the cluster families.

aws rds describe-db-engine-versions --query "DBEngineVersions[].DBParameterGroupFamily" --region <your_region>

you'll get a long list from the output

[
    "aurora-mysql5.7",
    . . .
    "docdb3.6",
    . . .
    "custom-sqlserver-ee-15.0",
    . . .
    . . .
    . . .
    "db2-se-11.5",
    . . .
    etc
]

Then choose the desired family based on your needs/requirements and put it in your Terraform configuration. So this is not a bug, actually.

or.. you can use grep to simplify the cluster family findings, e.g., "aurora-mysql8.0"

aws rds describe-db-engine-versions --query "DBEngineVersions[].DBParameterGroupFamily" --region us-west-2 | grep aurora-mysql

good luck!
