Whether you’ve just signed up for your first AWS account or you’ve been with us for some time, there’s always something new to learn as our services evolve to meet the ever-changing needs of our customers. To help ensure you’re set up for success as you build with AWS, we put together this quick reference guide for Big Data training and resources available here on the AWS site.

Over the years, I have developed and created a number of data warehouses from scratch. Recently, I built a data warehouse for the iGaming industry single-handedly. To do it, I used the power and flexibility of Amazon Redshift and the wider AWS data management ecosystem. In this post, I explain how I was able to build a robust and scalable data warehouse without the large team of experts typically needed.

You can now provision and manage resources for Amazon Kinesis Analytics applications using AWS CloudFormation. Kinesis Analytics is the easiest way to process streaming data in real time with standard SQL, without having to learn new programming languages or processing frameworks.

Nowadays, streaming data is seen and used everywhere—from social networks, to mobile and web applications, IoT devices, instrumentation in data centers, and many other sources. As the speed and volume of this type of data increases, the need to perform data analysis in real time with machine learning algorithms and extract a deeper understanding from […]

Monitoring your AWS environment is important for security, performance, and cost control purposes. For example, by monitoring and analyzing API calls made to your Amazon EC2 instances, you can trace security incidents and gain insights into administrative behaviors and access patterns. The kinds of events you might monitor include console logins, Amazon EBS snapshot creation/deletion/modification, […]
