Course Description

Traditional data warehousing is transitioning to be more cloud-based and this can be a key area that must be mastered for data science. In this course, you will discover how to build a data lake on the AWS cloud by storing data in S3 buckets and indexing this data using AWS Glue. Explore how to run crawlers to automatically crawl data in S3 to generate metadata tables in Glue.
