I have a cluster, and cluster instance, and cluster end point defined, but I don't see how to tag one of the instances as 'writer' false (it's a readonly output).

05/22/2020, 3:40 AMI think in Aurora, you use a readerEndpoint for read-only access to a non-read replica cluster.

05/22/2020, 3:40 AMYou can create a whole new cluster that is a read replica of another cluster...

05/22/2020, 3:44 AMokay, so If I wanted 5 read replicas, would I need to create 5 reader endpoints?

05/22/2020, 3:47 AMAs I understand it, you don't worry about replicas within the cluster. Give (e.g.) 10 instances to Aurora, and it sorts the read-instances itself, if it needs them. You just connect your readonly applications to the (one) readerEndpoint, and your write applications to other endpoints. Then let Aurora work its ML-type analysis and it figures it all out for you.
