About the Course

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....

If you are working with data in one of various roles such as business analyst, data analyst, data scientist and you are completely new to cloud technology, this is the course for you.

It provides an overview of AWS's most popular services and explain what problems the services are designed to solve (i.e. the reasons for adopting data lake).

Specifically, the instructors briefly walk you through different parts of designing data lakes: data ingestion (Kinnesis Family, AppFlow, API Gateway, Snow Family, Data Exchange), data storage (S3), data catalog (Glue Crawler, Glue Data Catalog), data processing (Glue Job, Lambda, EMR), data visualization and exploration (Kibana), machine learning (SageMaker).

After the course, you'll have a roadmap to dive into your interested topics.

One of the lab is buggy and content is a little bit superficial. But if treating the course as a light entertainment + little education it's learning pace is quite good. Although instructors are cool and make getting knowledge easy. I'm satisfied overall but will not reccomend it for people who already use AWS in everyday routine because content is really introductary:)

I Loved it, just that is only a beginner course, I would like to have more courses like this one, so we can keep up with AWS and data lakes.

Good content, but the delivery could be better. The course is old (Sep 2020) and needs updating, since AWS changes some services (e.g. Elastic Search is now OpenSearch). Not worth the price.

Videos with screen shots and sequwnce of steps are useful; videos with 'talking heads" and generic statements are not useful . Sections can be improved with more motivated examples.

The discussion forums were useless -- the instructors did not respond to questiuons and requests for help. Also, three labs werre planned but only one was published and accessible.
