AWS Database
The Planning and Designing Databases on AWS (DBDBAW) course is designed to help IT professionals, database administrators plan, design, and implement efficient and scalable database solutions using Amazon Web Services. During the course, participants will learn to leverage AWS services and features to create secure, high-performance database solutions suited to the needs of their applications. One of the main goals of the course is to provide participants with a solid understanding of the different database options available on AWS, such as Amazon RDS, Amazon DynamoDB, Amazon Aurora, and Amazon Redshift. They will learn to evaluate their application needs and select the most appropriate database service based on factors such as scalability, performance, security and availability. The course also focuses on designing and implementing efficient and secure storage solutions using AWS storage services. Participants will learn to design database schemas optimized for performance and scalability and implement backup and recovery strategies to protect data and ensure business continuity. Another important focus of the course is performance optimization and database resource management. Participants will learn how to monitor and optimize database performance, manage indexes, queries and resources to ensure their database solutions are efficient and reliable. Finally, the course covers best practices for security and compliance when designing and managing database solutions on AWS. Participants will learn to implement and configure security features such as authentication, authorization, monitoring, and data encryption to protect information and ensure compliance with applicable regulations. The course prepares participants for the AWS Certified Database – Specialty certification exam .
