Amazon Aurora Connector enables you to securely read data from Amazon Aurora databases.
You can use Amazon Aurora objects as sources in mappings and mapping tasks.
When you configure field mappings in a mapping task, you can create a lookup to an Amazon Aurora object.
Note: You cannot create an unconnected lookup when you configure field mappings.
Example
You work in the IT department of an international bank and are responsible for storing huge volumes of transaction files in a relational database. You want to store the data in Amazon Aurora database to avoid data loss if the relational database fails. You can use Amazon Aurora Connector to upload huge volumes of transactional files to Amazon Aurora from any location and at any time. You can back up data in Aurora for disaster recovery purposes and retrieve the data later.
