How to upgrade AWS RDS Aurora MySQL 5.6 to 5.7

Tags:

We are using AWS RDS Aurora MySQL 5.6 for our production database. AWS launched MySQL 5.7 compatible Aurora engine on 6th Feb, 2018.

I dont see any option in "modify instance" to change engine to MySQL 5.7 I dont see any option in restore snapshot to database with MySQL 5.7 either.

We want to do this upgrade with least downtime. Pls suggest what could be done here.
