Public IP for AWS Aurora possible or not?

AWS documentation states that Aurora Serverless DB cannot have a public IP Address:

You can't give an Aurora Serverless DB cluster a public IP address. You can access an Aurora Serverless DB cluster only from within a virtual private cloud (VPC) based on the Amazon VPC service.

However, this confuses me as I was just able to set "Public accessibility" to "Yes". I was also able to connect to the database outside the VPC using the endpoint specified.

enter image description here

Am I misunderstanding the limitations (Public IP)? Or is this something that was made possible just recently?

Thank you!

The part you quoted mentions Aurora Serverless - this is different to the Aurora you are using in your picture.

Serverless is only available inside VPC as your quote states - Standard Aurora can be made publicly accessible, although generally it's better practice to restrict access to inside VPC only.
