Description


This course provides case study–based training, designed completely around Jupyter notebook–based learning using only AWS big data technologies. Every exercise shown in this video can be run interactively by the students watching. The material exclusively focuses on AWS, with the goal of building enough foundation that the learner can achieve certification.


Most companies struggle with widely varied, high-volume, and fast-moving data. After years of hype around big data, tools and infrastructure have improved to the point where companies are way beyond pilot projects and proofs-of-concept. Big data, where parallel processing is needed just to do the work, is the new normal. AWS leads the world in cloud computing and big data. This course offers a clear path toward certification by AWS on Big Data solutions, which is needed in a competitive job market. This course fills a known gap in this rapidly growing space.
