Scientists, developers, and other technologists from many different industries are taking advantage of AWS to perform big data analytics and meet the challenges of the increasing volume, variety, and velocity of digital information. AWS offers a portfolio of cloud computing services to help you manage big data by reducing costs, scaling to meet demand, and increasing the speed of innovation. In this quest, you’ll learn to work with advanced services for Big Data.
In this Quest, you will learn how to write functions with the AWS Lambda Service that respond to events and integrate other AWS Services. You will create applications that write records to Amazon DynamoDB, send messages with Amazon SNS, and monitor events in Amazon CloudWatch and external services. You will even write a back-end function in Lambda for creating a voice-response app for Alexa and the Amazon Echo.
In this quest, you’ll learn to work with services related to Deployment and Management, including AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM), AWS Elastic Beanstalk, AWS CloudFormation, and AWS OpsWorks.
In this Quest, you will delve deeper into the uses and capabilities of Amazon Redshift. You will use a remote SQL client to create and configure tables, and gain practice loading large data sets into Redshift. You will explore the effects of schema variations and compression. You will explore visualization of Redshift data, and connect Redshift with Amazon Machine Learning to create a predictive data model.
In this quest, you’ll learn to work with services related to Compute and Networking, including Amazon EC2, Amazon Elastic Load Balancing, and Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (VPC).
Achieving AWS Certification requires hands-on experience. This quest helps you get hands-on practice with several key services as you prepare for the AWS Certified Solutions Architect – Associate Exam. Visit AWS Certification to learn more about this exam and find more resources to prepare.
Serverless architectures allow you to build and run applications and services without needing to provision, manage, and scale infrastructure. This quest will show how to design, build, and deploy interactive serverless web applications, using a simple HTML/JavaScript web interface which uses Amazon API Gateway calls to send requests to AWS Lambda backends that query Amazon DynamoDB data.
This quest is designed to teach you how to apply AWS Identity and Access Management, in concert with several other AWS Services, to address real-world application and service security management scenarios.
