Amazon Redshift Training Overview
In this Building Data Analytics Solutions Using Amazon Redshift training course, attendees build a data analytics solution using Amazon Redshift, a cloud data warehouse service. The course focuses on the analytics pipeline's data collection, ingestion, cataloging, storage, and processing components. Students learn to integrate Amazon Redshift with a data lake to support both analytics and machine learning workloads. Participants also learn to apply security, performance, and cost management best practices to the operation of Amazon Redshift.
