# Managing an Amazon Aurora global database
<a name="aurora-global-database-managing"></a>

You perform most management operations on the individual clusters that make up an Aurora global database. When you choose **Group related resources** on the **Databases** page in the console, you see the primary cluster and secondary clusters grouped under the associated global database. To find the AWS Regions where a global database's DB clusters are running, its Aurora DB engine and version, and its identifier, use its **Configuration** tab.

 The cross-Region database failover processes are available to Aurora global databases only, not for a single Aurora DB cluster. To learn more, see [Using switchover or failover in Amazon Aurora Global Database](aurora-global-database-disaster-recovery.md). 

 To recover an Aurora global database from an unplanned outage in its primary Region, see [Recovering an Amazon Aurora global database from an unplanned outage](aurora-global-database-disaster-recovery.md#aurora-global-database-failover).
