Big Data on AWS introduces you to cloud-based big data solutions such as Amazon Elastic MapReduce (EMR), Amazon Redshift, Amazon Kinesis and the rest of the AWS big data platform. In this course, we show you how to use Amazon EMR to process data using the broad ecosystem of Hadoop tools like Hive and Hue. We also teach you how to create big data environments, work with Amazon DynamoDB, Amazon Redshift, and Amazon Kinesis, and leverage best practices to design big data environments for security and cost-effectiveness.

  • Data Scientists and Data Analysts interested in learning about big data solutions on AWS

Delivery Method

This course is delivered through a mix of:

  • Instructor-Led Training (ILT)
  • Hands-On Labs

Hands-On Activity

This course allows you to test new skills and apply knowledge to your working environment through a variety of practical exercises.
