Course Description

Big Data on AWS training introduces you to cloud-based big data solutions and Amazon Elastic MapReduce (EMR), the AWS big data platform. In this course, we show you how to use Amazon EMR to process data using the broad ecosystem of Hadoop tools like Pig and Hive. We also teach you how to create big data environments, work with Amazon DynamoDB and Amazon Redshift, understand the benefits of Amazon Kinesis, and leverage best practices to design big data environments for security and cost-effectiveness.

This course leads to AWS Certified Data Analytics - Specialty Certification.

Note: Lab time available only for class duration & not beyond. Additional lab charges apply for “repeat students”.
