In this course for the Big Data Specialty Certification, we learn how to identify the appropriate data processing technologies needed for big data scenarios. We explore how to design and architect a data processing solution, and explore and define the operational characteristics of big data processing.
Learning objectives
- Recognize and explain how to identify the appropriate data processing technologies needed for big data scenarios.
- Recognize and explain how to design and architect a data processing solution.
Intended audience
This course is intended for students wanting to extend their knowledge of the data processing options available in AWS.
Prerequisites
While there are no formal prerequisites for this course, students will benefit from having a basic understanding of cloud computing services. If you would like to gain a solid foundation in compute fundamentals, then check out our Compute Fundamentals For AWS course.

Welcome to Big Data on AWS. In this module we're looking at processing data with Amazon Lambda. At the end of this module you'll be able to describe in detail how Amazon Lambda can be used to process data within a Big Data solution. In previous modules we have covered Amazon EMR and how it can be used to process, store, and analyze Big Data. Now we're going to look at how Amazon Lambda works and how you can use it in a Big Data scenario.
