DR Drill

Aurora global database primary-database-demo-rds-global · served from ap-south-1

You are on the Mumbai server. That is expected — the domain resolves here until the health check flips. The drill will run, but this page goes down with the server at the last step. When it does, wait for Route 53 to fail over and reload the same URL: you will land on Hyderabad, which reads the live state from AWS and offers the failback.
