'Parallel query' for Aurora became available for preview in February [2]. The compute layer does pushdown processing to storage servers [3]. If you do a "select count(*) from t where a=1" and "a is not indexed" on 600 storage servers and 1 compute server, the count should happen in parallel on 600 storage nodes and 1 accumulate on the compute server.
