AWS-DataLake: Building Data Lakes on AWS
Course Information

Course Name
AWS-DataLake: Building Data Lakes on AWS

Duration
1 Day
Certification
Overview
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 level: Intermediate
- Duration: 1 day
Audience Profile
This course is intended for:
- Data platform engineers
- Solutions architects
- IT professionals
Prerequisites
We recommend that attendees of this course have:
- Completed the AWS Technical Essentials classroom course
- One year of experience building data analytics pipelines or have completed the Data Analytics Fundamentals digital course
At Course Completion
In this course, you will learn to:
- Apply data lake methodologies in planning and designing a data lake
- Articulate the components and services required for building an AWS data lake
- Secure a data lake with appropriate permission
- Ingest, store, and transform data in a data lake
- Query, analyze, and visualize data within a data lake
Course Outline

- Describe fine-grained row/cell access control
- Visualize data with Amazon QuickSight
- Explain the Lake Formation Tag-based access control mechanism and the different use cases for Named access control vs. Tag-based access control
- Describe access flow that enforces fine-grained access policies to both catalog metadata and underlying data resources for analytics services connecting to Lake Formation.
- Explain capabilities of a modern data architecture: Scalable data lakes, Purpose-build analytics services, Seamless data movement, unified governance, and performance and cost-effectivness.
- Articulate the typical data movement within a modern data architecture: Inside out, Outside in, Around the perimeter, and sharing across.
- Describe focus of building and maintaining data products as a service.
- Describe a typical Data Mesh architecture using Lake Formation and the key enablers
- supporting this methodology
- Lab 3: Building and publishing a data product in Lake Formation
