Overview

On this accelerated AWS: Planning and Designing Databases on AWS course, you will learn how to use AWS services when planning and designing databases.

In this course, you will also learn about the process of planning and designing both relational and nonrelational AWS databases. It will teach you how to use workload requirements to define database design considerations and also explore the features and capabilities of the eight AWS database services.

AWS: Planning and Designing Databases on AWS introduces you to the features and characteristics of each of these databases and shares the design considerations that you should make while using them. By taking this course, you can develop the analytical skills needed to choose the right AWS database for your unique needs.

In just 2 days, you’ll learn to apply database concepts, database management, and data modelling techniques. You’ll also learn how to:

Evaluate hosting databases on Amazon EC2 instances
Evaluate relational AWS database services and their features (Amazon RDS, Amazon Aurora, and Amazon Redshift)
Evaluate nonrelational AWS database services and their features (Amazon DocumentDB, Amazon DynamoDB, Amazon ElastiCache, Amazon Neptune, and Amazon QLDB) nning and Designing Databases on AWS
Plan and design your solutions with purpose-built Amazon Web Services (AWS) Cloud databases.
Analyse a business use case, analyse the workload, and assess application requirements to identify and design the most suitable AWS database solution to support your organizational needs.

At the end of this course, you’ll achieve your Planning and Designing Databases on AWS certification.
