Creating an Aurora Serverless Cluster from cloudformation?

问题

From Aurora Serverless's document, there are 3 ways to create an Aurora serverless DB cluster: AWS management console, CLI, and RDS API. (https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonRDS/latest/UserGuide/aurora-serverless.create.html)

Form my understanding, one would use EngineMode in the RDS API to create Aurora Serverless, but this property is not available in AWS::RDS::DBCluster yet (https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSCloudFormation/latest/UserGuide/aws-resource-rds-dbcluster.html).

Would it be possible to create an Aurora Serverless Cluster from cloudformation? Any advice would be appreciated!

Thanks for Chris's update. As an example, here is my cloudFormation template for serverless aurora. We no longer need the DBInstance.

  RDSCluster:
    Type: AWS::RDS::DBCluster
    Properties:
      MasterUsername: 
        Ref: DBUsername
      MasterUserPassword: 
        Ref: DBPassword
      DatabaseName: RANDOMNAME
      Engine: aurora
      EngineMode: serverless
      ScalingConfiguration:
        AutoPause: true
        MaxCapacity: 16
        MinCapacity: 2
        SecondsUntilAutoPause: 300
      DBSubnetGroupName:
        Ref: DBSubnetGroup

It is now possible to create an AWS::RDS::DBCluster with an EngineMode set to serverless. See more here: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSCloudFormation/latest/UserGuide/aws-resource-rds-dbcluster.html#cfn-rds-dbcluster-enginemode

Simple answer - No. Not till they make it available in CFN. As of 1-2 days ago, the EngineMode and ScalingConfiguration property are not yet available in the RDS API, as my API call threw this error. First they will make available the APIs/cli. Once that works, create a CFN Custom Resource to invoke the RDS API from a lambda. It might be a while before it is made directly available in CFN.

And I know role/permission is not a problem as I could launch normal Aurora cluster from the same.

PS: RDS APIs now work for serverless

Edit: Some time in Oct 18, EngineMode added to CFN, so now this is possible -> https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSCloudFormation/latest/UserGuide/aws-resource-rds-dbcluster.html#cfn-rds-dbcluster-enginemode

I found an article that indicated that the Go SDK has been updated with the EngineMode parameter, and when I looked through the AWS SDK changelog, I found some RDS updates in the most recent versions. I've had to manually update my AWS CLI to the latest release to get my shell scripts working with that option.

No news on the CloudFormation side though.
