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.
