This driver currently does not support `planned failover` or `switchover` of Amazon Aurora Global Databases. Failing over to a secondary cluster will result in errors and there may be additional unforeseen errors when working with global databases. Connecting to the primary cluster is fully supported. There is a limitation when connected to the secondary cluster; the [failover2 plugin](./docs/using-the-jdbc-driver/using-plugins/UsingTheFailover2Plugin.md) will not work on the secondary cluster, however the [failover plugin](./docs/using-the-jdbc-driver/using-plugins/UsingTheFailoverPlugin.md) will work. When working with Global Databases and accepting the driver's limited support, ensure you explicitly provide a list of plugins. This is crucial because the `failover2` plugin, which is enabled by default, does not support Global Databases as previously mentioned. By specifying `failover` plugin along with your desired plugins, you can ensure (still limited) functionality with Global Databases. Full Support for Amazon Aurora Global Databases is in the backlog, but we cannot comment on a timeline right now.
