Features of Aurora Serverless v2

After a brief investigation, I found the following features:

• Multi-AZ support
• Auto-scaling (scale-up and scale-down, not scale-out)
• Accessible from outside the VPC (public IP assignment possible)
• Higher cost compared to Aurora Provisioned
• Suitable for use cases with predictable spikes at specific times
