Version: 2.07.4
Aurora MySQL 2.07.4 is generally available. Aurora MySQL 2.* versions are compatible with MySQL 5.7 and Aurora MySQL 1.* versions are compatible with MySQL 5.6.
Currently supported Aurora MySQL releases are 1.19.5, 1.19.6, 1.22.*, 1.23.*, 2.04.*, 2.07.*, 2.08.*, 2.09.*, 2.10.*, 3.01.* and 3.02.*.

You can't upgrade an existing Aurora MySQL 1.* cluster directly to 2.07.4; however, you can restore its snapshot to Aurora MySQL 2.07.4.
To create a cluster with an older version of Aurora MySQL, please specify the engine version through the Amazon Web Services Management Console, the Amazon CLI, or the RDS API.
