Description

NEW: Now includes a full-length practice exam!

The AWS Certified Data Engineer Associate Exam (DEA-C01 or DE1-C01) is one of the most challenging associate-level certification exams you can take from Amazon Web Services, and even among the most challenging overall. Passing it tells employers in no uncertain terms that your knowledge of data pipelines is wide and deep. But, even experienced technologists need to prepare heavily for this exam. This course sets you up for success, by covering all of the data ingestion, transformation, and orchestration technologies on the exam and how they fit together.

Best-selling Udemy instructors Frank Kane and Stéphane Maarek have teamed up to deliver the most comprehensive and hands-on prep course we've seen. Together, they've taught over 2 million people around the world. This course combines Stéphane's depth on AWS with Frank's experience in wrangling massive data sets, gleaned during his 9-year career at Amazon itself.

The world of data engineering on AWS includes a dizzying array of technologies and services. Just a sampling of the topics we cover in-depth are:

Streaming and transforming data with Amazon Kinesis and Amazon Managed Streaming for Apache Kafka (MSK)

Queuing messages with Simple Queue Service (SQS)

Orchestrating data pipelines with Amazon AppFlow, Amazon EventBridge, AWS Step Functions, and Amazon Managed Workflows for Apache Airflow (MWAA)

Transitioning from small to big data with the AWS Database Migration Service (DMS), AWS DataSync, Snow Family, Transfer Family, and more

Storing massive data lakes with the Simple Storage Service (S3) and managing data lifecycles

Optimizing transactional queries with DynamoDB, DocumentDB, Keyspaces, and MemoryDB

Tying your big data systems together with AWS Lambda

Making unstructured data query-able with AWS Glue, Glue DataBrew, and Lake Formation

Processing data at unlimited scale with Elastic MapReduce, including Apache Spark

Applying advanced machine learning algorithms at scale with Amazon SageMaker

Searching and analyzing petabyte-scale data with Amazon Opensearch (formerly Elasticsearch) Service

Querying S3 data lakes with Amazon Athena

Hosting massive-scale data warehouses with Redshift and Redshift Spectrum

Integrating smaller data with your big data, using the Relational Database Service (RDS)

Keeping your data secure with encryption, KMS, Macie, Secrets Manager, IAM, and more

Managing and governing your systems with CloudFormation, CloudTrail, CloudWatch, AWS Config, and more

Throughout the course, you'll have lots of opportunities to reinforce your learning with hands-on demos, a full-length practice exam, and additional practice questions. We'll also arm you with some valuable test-taking tips and strategies along the way.

Although this is an associate-level exam, it is one of the more challenging ones. AWS recommends having a few years of both data engineering experience and AWS experience before tackling it. This exam is not intended for AWS beginners.
