Yeah, the latency on that failover isn't specified.

Do you mean the amount of time it takes to initiate a failover or the amount of time for a failover to complete?

For the former, I don't think they specify beyond "automatic".

For the latter, "service is typically restored in less than 120 seconds, and often less than 60 seconds": http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonRDS/latest/UserGuide/Aurora...

That's a pretty good cutover, but as you say, they should also include the time needed to detect a failure and initiate the transition.
