Building Streaming Data Analytics Solutions on AWS – Intensive Training («AWSB08»)

• Understanding the features and benefits of a modern data architecture. Learn how AWS streaming services fit into a modern data architecture.
• Designing and implementing a streaming data analytics solution
• Identifying and applying appropriate techniques, such as compression, sharding, and partitioning, to optimize data storage
• Selecting and deploying appropriate options to ingest, transform, and store real-time and near real-time data 
• Choosing the appropriate streams, clusters, topics, scaling approach, and network topology for a particular business use case
• Understanding how data storage and processing affect the analysis and visualization mechanisms needed to gain actionable business insights
• Securing streaming data at rest and in transit
• Monitoring analytics workloads to identify and remediate problems
• Applying cost management best practices

The course dives deep into Amazon Kinesis and Amazon MSK through a mixture of instructor-led presentations, practice labs, demonstrations, and class exercises so you can walk away understanding how to build a streaming data analytics solution on AWS. You'll also learn how to scale streaming applications using Amazon Kinesis, optimize data storage, how to select and deploy appropriate options to ingest, transform, store, and analyze data, and more.
