A little slow but on Aurora you can attach then promote read replicas. Iirc that's around 20 minutes but I haven't tested recently.

I'd think you could also setup logical rep to a VM then snapshot and clone the storage which is generally pretty fast.

You can create a new instance directly on AWS aurora. Takes less than 20 minutes!
