Planning and Designing Databases on AWS (PD-DB)

 

Course Content

In this course, you will 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. By the end of the course, you will be able to determine which AWS database service is right for your workloads, and design the database to meet your requirements.

Who should attend

This course is intended for:

  • Data Engineers who are new to designing cloud databases or nonrelational databases
  • Solutions Architects who are designing services or architectures that are integrated with databases
  • Developers that are building cloud database-enabled applications

Certifications

This course is part of the following Certifications:
