DESCRIPTION
Aurora Storage, internally known as Grover, 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 Grover. Grover 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, Grover supports additional AWS database services, such as Amazon DocumentDB, Neptune, and Timestream, enabling these services to further benefit from its durability, scale, performance, and features.
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.
