Does Elastic Beanstalk support Amazon's Aurora DB?

Question

In the Oregon region, Elastic Beanstalk let's me select "aurora" from a list of RDS databases. However, when I try to launch the application, I get this flash message:

DBEngine: Invalid option value: 'aurora' (Namespace: 'aws:rds:dbinstance', OptionName: 'DBEngine'): Value is not one of the allowed values: [mysql, oracle-se1, postgres, sqlserver-ex, sqlserver-web, sqlserver-se]

Is this a transient error, or is Aurora not available on Elastic Beanstalk? Why would they let me select it if it wasn't a real option?

Answer 1

As of 2015-08-07, Elastic Beanstalk does not support Aurora. I received this message from AWS Support:

Hello, At this time it is not currently a supported option for use with Beanstalk, though we are working to expand where and how it can be integrated. Please stay tuned to our release blog for any updates in the near future pertaining to that. https://aws.amazon.com/new/

Sot it's not available today, but it's likely coming soon.
