Hello,

Has anyone seen this error hitting the create staging environment button for a MariaDB:

CreateBlueGreenDeployment is not supported?

[aditya-ambati]

@ewbankkit Does this feature support Aurora DB as well or is it only for RDS ?

[ferschubert-hm]

@aditya-ambati seems not if you use aws_rds_cluster_instance as currently only aws_db_instance resource has the blue_green_update option.

[PackiarajSakkananGW]

Is there any way to get blue_green_update to work with aws_rds_cluster_instance. As per the documentation aws_rds_cluster_instance is the recommended way to manage aurora instance. If that is the case, then blue_green_update does not work with Auroa.
