Course Description
Amazon Web Services, also known as AWS, is a secure cloud-computing platform offered by Amazon.com. This course introduces AWS and it's most prominent tools such as IAM, S3, and EC2. Additionally we will cover how to install configure and use a Hadoop cluster on AWS. This learning path can be used as part of the preparation for the Cloudera Certified Administrator for Apache Hadoop (CCA-500) exam.
