Building Data Lakes on AWS

4.7312 ratings at Coursera

Overview

The fundamental-level course is typically designed for individuals with a basic understanding of data storage and processing concepts but little to no prior experience with building data lakes on AWS specifically. After a brief introduction to Data Lakes, we'll introduce data ingestion, cataloging and preparation, concluding with an overview of querying data with Amazon Athena. The course will continue with an AWS Lake Formation overview, including a hands-on lab where you'll build a data lake. We'll then introduce data processing and analytics leveraing AWS Glue before diving into automated data lake creatiokn using Lake Formation blueprints. Finally, we'll close with Modern Data Architectures on AWS with a lab that covers publishing and consuming data products as a service.
