AWS 430 – Big Data on AWS

Class Description
This 3-day class introduces Participants to cloud-based big data solutions such as Amazon Elastic MapReduce (EMR), Amazon Redshift, Amazon Kinesis and the rest of the AWS big data platform. In this course, we show Participants how to use Amazon EMR to process data using the broad ecosystem of Hardtop tools like Hive and Hue. We also teach Participants how to create big data environments, work with Amazon DynamoDB, Amazon Redshift, and Amazon Kinesis, and leverage best practices to design big data environments for security and cost-effectiveness.
