Planning and designing databases on AWS
In this course, you will learn about the process of planning and designing both relational and non-relational 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.
This course teaches you how to:
- Apply database concepts, database management, and data modelling techniques
- Evaluate hosting databases on Amazon EC2 instances
- Evaluate relational AWS database services and their features (Amazon RDS, Amazon Aurora, and Amazon Redshift)
- Evaluate non-relational AWS database services and their features (Amazon DocumentDB, Amazon DynamoDB, Amazon ElastiCache, Amazon Neptune, and Amazon QLDB)
- Examine how the design criteria apply to each service
- Apply management principles based on the unique features of each service
