Data Warehousing on AWS Training

This Data Warehousing on AWS course introduces you to concepts, strategies, and best practises for designing a cloud-based data warehousing solution using Amazon Redshift, the petabyte-scale data warehouse in Amazon Web Services (AWS). This AWS Data Warehousing course demonstrates how to collect, store, and prepare data for the data warehouse by using other AWS services such as Amazon DynamoDB, Amazon EMR, Amazon Kinesis Firehose, and Amazon S3. Additionally, this course demonstrates how to use business intelligence tools to perform analysis on your data.
