Building Data Lakes on AWS

AWS APN Training Partner

In this course, you will learn how to build an operational data lake that supports analysis of both structured and unstructured data. You will learn the components and functionality of the services involved in creating a data lake. You will use AWS Lake Formation to build a data lake, AWS Glue to build a data catalog, and Amazon Athena to analyze data. The course lectures and labs further your learning with the exploration of several common data lake architectures. 

Course Contents

  • Module 1: Introduction to data lakes
  • Module 2: Data ingestion, cataloging, and preparation
  • Module 3: Data processing and analytics
  • Module 4: Building a data lake with AWS Lake Formation
  • Module 5: Additional Lake Formation configurations
  • Module 6: Architecture and course review

You have access to the labs for another 14 days after the course. This way you can repeat exercises or deepen them individually.
