RDS does not support creating a DB instance with the following combination

Question

I'm trying to figure out how to create a simple DB instance. I have so far only a DBSubnetGroup and DBInstance. At this point, I've figured out a couple things based on the errors I get when I try to create a stack with my template (created in Designer).

I've now hit an error that, according to the instance class documentation it appears like it should be supported, but I guess not. Based on my snippet below, what should I be using instead?

myDB:
  Type: 'AWS::RDS::DBInstance'
  Properties:
    DBInstanceClass: db.m1.small
    DBName: myDB
    DBSubnetGroupName: !Ref myDBSubnetGroup
    Engine: mysql
    EngineVersion: 5.6.41
    AllocatedStorage: '100'
    MasterUsername: admin
    MasterUserPassword: AmazingPassword

The actual error is

RDS does not support creating a DB instance with the following combination: DBInstanceClass=db.m1.small, Engine=mysql, EngineVersion=5.6.41, LicenseModel=general-public-license. For supported combinations of instance class and database engine version, see teh documentation. (Service: AmazonRDS; Status Code: 400; Error Code: InvalidParameterCombination; Request ID: 04a8be38-9368-40e4-b677-1cdc442b3cae

Again, I've looked at the documentation and it says that db.m1.small supports MySQL v5.6. Perhaps that is out of date? I guess I can try 5.7.

Any thoughts?

Taken from the aws docs:

You can only create MySQL version 5.7 and 8.0 DB instances with latest-generation and current-generation DB instance classes, in addition to the db.m3 previous-generation DB instance class.
