Course Description
In the past decade, cloud computing has been gaining popularity at a tremendous rate. Some cloud providers are experiencing a growth rate of 50% year over year – which is just astounding. And the reason for this growth is obvious – cloud computing enables ubiquitous, convenient, on-demand access to a shared pool of configurable computing resources which can be rapidly provisioned and released with minimal effort.
Amazon Web Services is a cloud computing platform that offers a broad set of global compute, storage, database, analytics, application, and deployment services that help organizations move faster, lower IT costs, and scale applications.
Ever since its inception - the relational database management systems have gained tremendous popularity across the world. Recently NoSQL databases like MongoDB has also gained a lot of traction - but still, RDBMS remains the de-facto choice of engineers when it comes to storing structured data. According to some estimates - relational databases are used in more than 90% of the software projects out there.
With the advent of cloud computing - solution designers and architects had to deal with some unique challenges while attempting to migrate their relational databases to the cloud. You see, relational databases need high-performance hardware and disks to perform at the peak level. But IaaS cloud computing services provide us with virtual servers - which store their data on network connected disks. So to manage relational data in the cloud - we needed a specialized PaaS (platform as a service) which provided adequate hardware and redundancy to relational databases.
Amazon Relational Database Service (or Amazon RDS) is a distributed relational database service by Amazon Web Services (AWS). AWS RDS is a web service running "in the cloud" designed to simplify the setup, operation, and scaling of a relational database for use in applications. Complex administration processes like patching the database software, backing up databases and enabling point-in-time recovery are managed automatically. Scaling storage and compute resources can be performed by a single API call.
Introduction of AWS RDS along with its unique features has made it very simple for us to deploy and grow relational databases to a very large scale in the cloud. What's more - the tight integration that exists between most of the AWS services - makes it seamless to deploy multi-tier complex and scalable applications.
This course will give you in-depth knowledge about AWS RDS and demonstrate some key features and guidelines you need to know to get started with it. We will kick things off with an overview of AWS RDS. After covering the basics of AWS RDS - we will dive deep and learn how to setup highly available, scalable and robust relational database clusters which span multiple AWS availability zones.
- Do you know what it takes to design and deploy sophisticated cloud-based relational databases?
- How does one go about securing the databases and scaling them for a global audience?
- How to make for disaster recovery and failovers?
- How to scale the infrastructure with a simple push of a button or a simple command?
These are some of the fundamental problems Cloud engineers, architects and database administrators struggle with on a daily basis.
This course teaches you how to design, deploy, configure and manage your AWS RDS relational databases with AWS RDS.
If you’re serious about building scalable, flexible and robust AWS RDS databases for use in your cloud-based applications, then this course is for you.
These database and Cloud Computing skills are in high demand, but there’s no easy way to acquire this knowledge. Rather than rely on hit and trial method, this course will provide you with all the information you need to get started with your AWS RDS cloud database projects.

nearly 15 minutes of intro and 9 of it was about becoming an instructor for the course, and 3 after it were course overview? It feels more like an advertisement than a course so far. Some of the quiz questions such as "select an incorrect statement" and when you do it's like "that's wrong, the others are..." (and completely contradicts it), as well, others are based around "workload" and are confusing with high availability with workload size, which contradicts instance sizes with redundancy and availability, etc. Some of this needs a rework. As well, the course materials went to a broken link for me.

This course is not a master class, is an "Introduction" 1. This only covers basic topics and there is no practice session for some of the important subjects such as section 4 2. for section 5 there should have been so many subjects to explain 3. there is no lecture about users and rules creating 4. the transcript does not interpret the lecturer's speech clearly and has a lot of miss-spelling. ..
By Andrew Goltsev on 1/10/2020
This course is good fit for my needs. Thank you! However, there are few improvements that can be made. 1. Some parts of the course have missing important information. Like some security rules. Lecturer says: "We created this rule earlier". It was no lecture earlier how to do that. I recall at least two occasions of this kind. I was able to reengineer missing parts, but it might create difficulties for other students. It seems that happens because the course is mix of lectures done at different time. Like "good bye" on section 46 leads to another technical lecture on part 47. 2. Lectures work with outdated AWS software. Current AWS Console menus do not match whatever is show on the screen. It worth to mention such difference at least. 3. It would be nice to have exact transcript of the course to make sure there is no misunderstanding, like sync/async, etc. Captions do not interpret the lecturer speech clearly. Thanks, Andrew

I have been a DBA for nearly 40 years, but I'm just beginning to get my feet wet with AWS. This was an excellent course for familiarizing me with RDS before I take the plunge into moving production databases to the cloud.

Presentation could be more better,It would be better if they have provide highlighted points or brief explanation of the concepts in one or two lines on presentation slides instead of using more graphical picture.
