Course Overview

By 2025, over 80% of the world’s data will be unstructured, challenging organizations to rethink how they store, process, and analyze information. This hands-on course equips you with the skills to build an operational data lake that supports analysis of both structured and unstructured data using AWS.

Through expert-led instruction and real-world labs, you'll learn how to build scalable, secure data lakes on AWS using services like AWS Lake Formation, AWS Glue, and Amazon Athena. You'll explore the components of a modern data lake architecture, understand the functionality of the services involved in creating a data lake, and gain experience designing solutions that turn raw data into business insight.

Course Objectives

This course is designed to give you practical, hands-on experience with the key AWS services used in building data lakes. You’ll explore common architecture patterns and learn how to ingest, catalog, transform, and query data—all within a secure and scalable framework. With labs and guided instruction, you’ll walk away ready to build your own data lake infrastructure and support modern data analytics efforts.

By the end of the course, you’ll be able to:

  • Identify the core components of a modern data lake architecture
  • Use AWS Lake Formation to build a data lake and manage access controls
  • Catalog and transform data with AWS Glue
  • Query datasets using Amazon Athena and visualize results with QuickSight
