Migrating MySQL 8.0.33 to Aurora in AWS RDS


In Amazon RDS, I am trying to migrate my MySQL 8.0.33 to Amazon Aurora.

I attempted to do this using both these methods:

The issue is that there doesn't seem to be a compatible Aurora version with MySQL 8.0.33. The latest Aurora version seems to be: Aurora MySQL 3.05.0 (Compatible with MySQL 8.0.32).

I then thought about downgrading the RDS instance to 8.0.32, but this does not seem to be an option. Only upgrading.

How can I handle this issue?

The only thing I can think of is exporting the data using MYSQL dump, and re-importing the data in a new Aurora instance.


Solution

  • Based on the comments, the recommended way is through mysql dump. Alternatively, there is also AWS Database Migration Service which could be considered as an alternative.
