I am pretty frustrated that DB services like Aurora, and now DocumentDB are still limited to last-gen instance types like r4 instead of the latest instances like r5 and t3 which have marked improvements in terms of CPU and networking performance.

I wonder if it is that they just have a so much r4 inventory left that they are forcing us to use it or if they haven't fully integrated/validated the latest instance types with their custom storage backend.
