Amazon Web Services Databases training comprehensively prepares professionals architecting, migrating, securing and administering scalable relational database services across cloud infrastructure.
AWS Databases Course
Got a team to train? Logitrain can deliver the AWS Databases course in house at your premises anywhere in Australia, with the same features as the public course, including a skilled and experienced trainer, digital course material and hands on practice. In house delivery suits teams who want everyone trained together on dates that suit the business, with the content tuned to your AWS environment and database workloads. Contact us to plan a schedule and group size that works for you.
The AWS Databases training course is an instructor led, hands on course that teaches you to design, migrate, secure, monitor and operate the purpose built database services on Amazon Web Services. You work across the main AWS database engines, including Amazon RDS, Amazon Aurora, Amazon DynamoDB, Amazon Redshift and Amazon ElastiCache, and you learn how to choose the right database for a given workload. It suits database administrators, data engineers, developers, solution architects and cloud engineers who want practical AWS database skills.
What you will learn
The course covers the full database lifecycle on AWS. You learn to select appropriate database services for different data and workloads, plan for high availability and disaster recovery, design for performance, compliance and scalability, automate deployments, plan and run database migrations with the AWS Database Migration Service and the AWS Schema Conversion Tool, manage backups and restores, monitor and troubleshoot, and secure data at rest and in transit with encryption, auditing and access control.
Certification status
This is a skills based training course. The AWS Certified Database Specialty certification was retired by AWS in April 2024, so there is no longer a dedicated certification exam for this area. The skills themselves remain current and in demand. If you want a current AWS credential that includes database content, the right next step is the official Planning and Designing Databases on AWS course alongside the associate level certifications, which you can find on the AWS training courses page.
Why train with Logitrain
You receive a Certificate of Attendance and keep your digital course material. Logitrain has trained over 15,000 professionals since 2004, and every course carries our price beat guarantee. To turn AWS database skills into a career move, see the Database Job Ready Program.
AWS databases sit underneath almost every workload running on the platform, which is why employers value people who can choose, migrate, secure and run them well. Knowing when to reach for a relational engine such as Amazon RDS or Aurora, a key value store such as DynamoDB, or an in memory cache such as ElastiCache is a skill that pays off across many roles, from database administration and data engineering through to solution architecture. Although the standalone specialty certification has been retired, the underlying database knowledge is now woven through the associate and professional certifications, so these skills remain directly useful on the job and on your next AWS credential.
With Logitrain this course is instructor led and hands on, delivered live in real time whether you attend in person or online. You keep your digital course material for ongoing reference, and the price beat guarantee means if you find the same course advertised for less we will beat it. You can train in person in Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane, in person on request in Adelaide, Perth and Canberra, or live online anywhere in Australia, with full time, part time weeknight and part time weekend timings to suit your schedule.
There are no hard prerequisites for this course. To get the most from it, you should have some hands on experience with database technologies and some familiarity with core AWS services.
A recommended background is a few years working with relational and non relational databases, whether on premises or in the cloud, along with general comfort using the AWS console. If you are newer to AWS, the broader range of AWS training courses can help you build the foundations first.
The AWS Certified Database Specialty (DBS-C01) certification was retired by AWS on 30 April 2024, so there is no current certification exam associated with this course. You receive a Certificate of Attendance, and the skills you gain remain current and in demand.
If you want a current AWS credential that covers database content, the associate certifications and the official Planning and Designing Databases on AWS course are the recommended path.
