[SOLVED] Creating an Aurora Serverless Cluster from cloudformation?

Creating an Aurora Serverless Cluster from cloudformation?

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!

Solution

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
