Utility Computing (UC) AWS UC provides product innovations—from foundational services such as S3 and EC2—to consistently released new innovations that continue to set AWS’s services 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 (IoT), Platform, and Productivity Apps services in AWS, including support for customers who require specialized security solutions for their cloud services.
