Course Description

This course focuses on moving SQL Server Databases to Amazon's Cloud. Amazon's cloud is called AWS which stands for Amazon Web Services and their database offering is called RDS or Relational Database Service.

This course is NOT for any of the current AWS certifications. Currently, there are NO database specific certifications for Amazon's RDS platform.

This course WILL give you the skills necessary to move SQL Server Database to Amazon's cloud. The course will provide YOU with REAL WORLD examples on how to MOVE your existing database to the cloud.

Amazon's control 58% of the cloud market and is spending approximately a BILLION a year on cementing that lead over it's closest competition, which is Microsoft Azure. Currently, Azure comes in second at 12%.

As a SQL Server Consultant I can tell you that many of my customers are MOVING to Amazon's various cloud offerings.

There are still many LIMITATIONS and nuances to moving SQL Server Databases to the cloud. We will discuss many of these in the course.

The code, applications, and TOOLS (like Management Studio) you already use today with your existing databases can be used with Amazon RDS. Amazon RDS AUTOMATICALLY patches the database software and backs up your database, storing the backups for a user-defined retention period and enabling point-in-time recovery.

Amazon RDS makes it easy to use replication to enhance availability and reliability for production workloads. Using the Multi-AZ deployment option you can run MISSION CRITICAL workloads with high availability and built-in automated fail-over from your primary database to a synchronously replicated secondary database in case of a failure.

Availability zone replication is very much like having a built in SQL Server Cluster with the click of a button. This course will set up SQL Server Availability Zones for our HIGH AVAILABILITY needs.

This course is awesome for newbies to AWS RDS. Course was last updated on 2015 and there have been so many changes within RDS. It would be even more helpful if course is updated.

By Anonymized User on 9/18/2020

This content was good but being created in 2015, it is dated. Might be time for an update.

this has sealed my understanding about where I fit into the bigger picture as a data analyst..cloud we go!!!.. great course

By Bill Kelly on 3/21/2020

I appreciated the pace and content of this presentation... very good material for me (and I am just getting started moving databases to AWS). The only suggestion / comment I have has to do with the sketching segments. While the sketches were amazing, I was distracted by them during the discussion (how do they keep the lines and words so straight)... so I feel like I missed important information during that time. Thanks so much... good stuff!!

This class is dated and a waste of your time. AWS's website offer's better tutorials.

By Gregory Gornic on 9/9/2019

Very outdated, but they only SQL Server on ADS option available at this time. Needs to be updated.

By Kishore Balaji on 8/16/2019

Acronyms and explanation can be more clear. Also this seems old version. Now when I surf AWS, I can see lot more new and I would be more happy if new version gets released. Like this is 2015 last updated and I bought this course in 2019 which almost 4 years older video.

By Uday Rathinam on 3/7/2018

The course is good for SQL Server DBAs, to get started on AWS-RDS. Some of the screens are from 2015. They need to be updated.

By Mosammat on 6/8/2017

It is an excellent course. Everything is straight to the point. Looking forward for more advanced courses from the same instructor.

By Jaber Jung Singh Aulakh on 5/15/2015

I am new to cloud and this course opened a new window in my career which is full of opportunities. I would like to say 'Many Thanks' to Mike for uploading this course. There is no session which is boring and not valuable. I enjoyed all the sessions. Now I am too excited about cloud.. Once again.. Many Thanks 'Mike', keep it up :-)
