• Compare the features and benefits of data warehouses, data lakes, and modern data architectures
• Design and implement a batch data analytics solution
• Identify and apply appropriate techniques, including compression, to optimize data storage
• Select and deploy appropriate options to ingest, transform, and store data
• Choose the appropriate instance and node types, clusters, auto scaling, and network topology for a particular business use case
• Understand how data storage and processing affect the analysis and visualization mechanisms needed to gain actionable business insights
• Secure data at rest and in transit
• Monitor analytics workloads to identify and remediate problems
• Apply cost management best practices
