AWS Aurora IAM Token Access

A quick follow-up on the longer post about RDS IAM token access for MySQL.  Aurora is similar with one small-but-not-obvious difference.  The instructions at https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonRDS/latest/UserGuide/UsingWithRDS.IAMDBAuth.IAMPolicy.html regarding the IAM policy talk about instances and clusters.  For Aurora it looks like you need to reference the cluster id (cluster-...) and not the instance id.

In the language of the MySQL post the "rds_id" is the "Resource ID" from the Aurora cluster and not from any instance.  This is true even for single-instance clusters.

The same issues with mysql-connector-python vs pymysql exist for Aurora.  So far pymysql has worked fine.
