Would you sign your first born over to me on that promise? Obviously I'm joking, but i have in the past got nervous that there might be issues with this claim. I.e. previously i found that the MySQL welcome banner that Aurora gave me claimed it was a very specific version, but when i tested a bug fixed in a previous MySQL version (a weird edge cases for us around transactions) it failed the test. I'm worried that while the goal is for it to be 100% compatible, the number is closer to 99.X% and that means the migration isn't a small amount of work to verify.

Definitely send us a support ticket if you find a regression in Aurora/MySQL's behavior for a specific point release.

  That is what I did back then, i actually got a great response and the explanation of why this issue existed was valid. Not a real concern, I just don't love the way Amazon suggests "use Aurora" all the time when the real issue from the customers perspective is "Other non-Aurora RDS offerings are lacking features, and we have to keep using them - at least for now".
