Is there a 'clone this database, but as an aurora database, and make it a replica that can eventually become standalone' feature? Most of my RDS usage is for my clients, so it is not always feasable to up and forklift them to a different database platform. I would imagine though that AWS is not going to invest a lot of time and energy into improving the developer ergonomics and UX of non-Aurora databases? I can't think of anyone who would choose Aurora right off the bat -- becuase it's one click closer to complete vendor lock-in and away from OSS.

We have migration instructions in the Aurora documentation. See, for example: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonRDS/latest/AuroraUserGuide/AuroraMySQL.Migrating.html https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonRDS/latest/AuroraUserGuide... (MySQL) or https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonRDS/latest/AuroraUserGuide/AuroraPostgreSQL.Migrating.html https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonRDS/latest/AuroraUserGuide... (Postgres). Again, both are compatible with the open-source versions, so you can export your data if you need to via the standard tooling.
