Amazon Aurora MySQL Cluster Setup

If you are planning to use Aurora MySQL as your source database for mirroring using a transaction log, you need to perform an additional installation step on the MySQL server: configure MySQL so that Syniti DR can read the database's binary log and set the binary logging to ROW.

To enable binary logging on an Aurora MySQL DB cluster:

Create a new DB parameter group and associate it to your DB instance.
Set the binlog_format parameter to ROW.
The binlog_format parameter is a cluster-level parameter that is in the default cluster parameter group.
If you are changing the binlog_format parameter from OFF to another value, you need to reboot your Aurora DB cluster for the change to take effect.
Restart the cluster.
