DESCRIPTIONAWS Utility Computing (UC) provides product innovations - from foundational services such as Amazon's Simple Storage Service (S3) and Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2), to consistently released new product innovations that continue to set AWS's services and features apart in the industry. As a member of the UC organization, you'll support the development and management of Compute, Database, Storage, Internet of Things (Io T), Platform, and Productivity Apps services in AWS, including support for customers who require specialized security solutions for their cloud services. Aurora Storage is a highly available, self-healing, and six-way replicated storage service purpose-built for cloud databases. Unlike other relational databases, Aurora's separation of compute and storage enables offloading several critical functions such as transaction redo logging, crash recovery, and backup/restore to Aurora. Aurora also enables customer-facing features facilitating data recovery, logical replication, and improved performance. Examples include Aurora Global Database, Backtrack ("rewinding" a database cluster to a specific point in time), Continuous Backups, and Fast Clones. Furthermore, Aurora supports additional AWS database services, such as Amazon Document DB, Neptune, and Timestream, enabling these services to further benefit from its durability, scale, performance, and features.
