Getting Started with Data Analytics on AWS

Amazon Web Services connects introductory analysis concepts with a small cloud toolchain. The roughly two-hour course distinguishes analysis types and introduces descriptive visualization using AWS services. It suits a learner exploring the platform before a longer cloud analytics program.

What you will learn

• Distinguish descriptive, diagnostic and predictive analysis.
• Trace a basic AWS data-to-visualization workflow.
• Explore a descriptive dashboard with QuickSight.

Who this suits

Beginners interested in how cloud services support analytics.

Before you enroll

The provider lists beginner level without detailed prerequisites. Check cloud-account and lab instructions; course enrollment does not imply that every AWS service is free.

Coursera offers paid enrollment or subscription access. Check the enrollment screen for assessment and certificate terms, trials and any financial-aid options. Tool subscriptions, model API usage and cloud services may cost extra.

Put it into practice

Sketch a small descriptive reporting pipeline and estimate which services it uses. If you run a lab, use sample data and document how you will remove its resources afterward.
