Why study this course

In this instructor-led training course, you will learn about the process of planning and designing both relational and non-relational AWS databases.

The course 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 intermediate-level course is delivered through a mix of instructor-led training (ILT), hands-on labs, demonstrations, and group exercises.

Please note: students are required to bring their own laptop/tablet and power cable for this course.
