 <Admonition type="note" title="Supported versions">
     The following products are not compatible with Database Access as they don't support IAM authentication:
-    - Aurora Serverless.
+    - Aurora Serverless v1.
     - RDS MariaDB versions lower than 10.6.
+
+    It is recommended to upgrade Aurora Serverless v1 to
+    [Aurora Serverless v2](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonRDS/latest/AuroraUserGuide/aurora-serverless-v2.html)
+    which does support IAM authentication.
