Course Outline

·         Introduction to Amazon Kinesis Streams

In this course, we cover how Amazon Kinesis Streams is used to collect, process and analyze real-time streaming data to create valuable insights. An overview of the components of this service and a brief demonstration are also covered in this course.

·         Introduction to Amazon Kinesis Analytics

This is an introductory course on Amazon Kinesis Analytics, which helps you query streaming data or build entire streaming applications using SQL. In this course, we discuss how the service collects, processes and analyzes streaming data in real-time. We also discuss how to use and monitor Amazon Kinesis Analytics and explore use cases.

·         Getting Started with Amazon EMR

Amazon EMR is a service for processing vast amounts of data using open-source tools such as Apache Spark, Apache Hive, Apache HBase, Apache Flink, Apache Hudi, and Presto. You can use Amazon EMR to set up, operate, and scale your big data environments and automate time-consuming tasks like provisioning capacity and tuning clusters. In this course, you will learn the benefits, typical use cases, and technical concepts of Amazon EMR. 

·         Getting Started with AWS Glue

AWS Glue is a serverless data integration service that you can use to discover, prepare, and combine data for analytics, machine learning (ML), and application development. In this course, you will learn the benefits, typical use cases, and technical concepts of AWS Glue. 

·         Introduction to Amazon Athena

This course introduces the Amazon Athena service along with an overview of its operating environment. The basic steps in implementing Amazon Athena are also covered. Using the AWS Management Console, a brief demonstration of creating a database to run SQL queries for validation is performed.

·         Introduction to Amazon Quicksight

This is an introductory video on Amazon QuickSight – the cloud-powered business analytics service that makes it easy to build visualizations, perform ad-hoc analysis, and quickly get business insights from your data. In this course, we will discuss the benefits of using Amazon QuickSight and how the service works.

·         Visualizing with QuickSight

In this course, you will be introduced to the technical side of business intelligence (BI) and data visualization with Amazon Web Services (AWS). You will focus on using Amazon QuickSight to build and share interactive dashboards and analyses.

·         Introduction to AWS IoT Analytics

This course is an introduction to AWS IoT Analytics, a fully-managed service which allows you to run sophisticated analytics on massive volumes of IoT data. In this course, we look at the key components of AWS IoT analytics, an overview of the deployment architecture, and some use cases. We also have a demo for you to see AWS IoT Analytics in action.

·         Machine Learning for Business Challenges

Machine learning (ML) can help you solve business problems in ways that weren’t possible before.

·         Machine Learning Terminology and Process

This course introduces you to basic machine learning concepts and the machine process the data goes through. We explore each step in the machine learning process in detail and explain some of the common terms and techniques that occur during a phase of a ML project.

·         Exploring the Machine Learning Toolset

No matter what your background or experience, you can use machine learning. In this course, we’ll show you some of the AWS machine learning services you can use to build models and add intelligence to applications.

·         The Elements of Data Science

Learn to build and continuously improve machine learning models with Data Scientist Harsha Viswanath, who will cover problem formulation, exploratory data analysis, feature engineering, model training, tuning and debugging, as well as model evaluation and productionizing.

·         Math for Machine Learning

To understand modern machine learning, you also need to understand vectors and matrices, linear algebra, probability theorems, univariate calculus, and multivariate calculus.

·         Developing Machine Learning Applications

In this curriculum, we’ll explore Amazon’s fully managed ML platform, Amazon SageMaker. Specifically, we’ll discuss how to train and tune models, how certain algorithms are built in, how you can bring your own algorithm, and how to build for particular use cases like recommender systems or anomaly detection.
