According to this article https://mariadb.com/kb/en/mariadb-connector-j-303-release-notes/ Mariadb removed support for aurora in version 3.0.3,
Specific support for aurora has been removed due to piling up of issues The community has not raised any PRs for them and does not have access so that we can test these modifications.
Does anyone know if this support will be enabled in future versions? We are using 3.0.7 and don't see any issues connecting to aurora db.
The Aurora plugin for MariaDB Connector/C is no longer supported. The plugin's status is "Experimental" and I removed it in version 3.2.0, so it's still present in 3.0 and 3.1, but not in later versions.
Since the internal plugin API has not changed, it should be possible to use plugins from 3.1 in 3.3 (I have never tested this).
