Amazon Redshift Complete Guide: Data Warehousing & Analytics

Hands-on Redshift training: columnar storage, MPP, ETL, and query optimization for AWS analytics.

What you'll learn
- Understand the fundamental concepts of data warehousing, columnar storage, and Massively Parallel Processing (MPP) architecture in Amazon Redshift.
- Launch, configure, and connect to an Amazon Redshift cluster in AWS, including choosing node types, configuring IAM roles, networking, and security settings.
- Optimize Redshift query performance and storage costs through data distribution styles (ALL, EVEN, KEY), sort keys (SORTKEY), columnar storage, and compression
- Integrate Redshift with various AWS services such as S3, Lambda, Glue, Kinesis, EMR, and Business Intelligence (BI) tools like QuickSight and Tableau for end-to
- Administer and manage Redshift clusters effectively, including analyzing compression, exporting data with the UNLOAD command, and managing users and permissions
- Differentiate between OLTP (Online Transaction Processing) and OLAP (Online Analytical Processing) systems and their use cases for transactional and analytical

Requirements
- Curiosity and willingness to learn about cloud data warehousing, analytics, and AWS services. No prior Redshift or advanced SQL knowledge is required.

Description
In today’s data-driven world, the ability to design and manage scalable cloud data warehouses is a must-have skill.Amazon Redshiftis AWS’s fully managed, high-performance data warehouse that empowers organizations to analyze data efficiently from terabytes to petabytes.

This course is acomplete, hands-on guideto mastering Amazon Redshift for real-world data warehousing and analytics. It is designed fordata engineers, architects, analysts, BI professionals, and machine learning practitionerswho want to build, optimize, and manage powerful analytical solutions in the cloud.

You’ll start by learning thefoundations of OLTP vs OLAP systemsand why modern businesses rely on dedicated data warehouses. From there, we dive into Redshift’sarchitecture, including columnar storage, compression, andMassively Parallel Processing (MPP)for high-speed query execution.

Through practical, step-by-step lessons, you will:

Set up and configure Redshift clusterson AWS

Connect using SQL clients and run essential queries

Ingest large datasetsefficiently with the S3 COPY command

Applydata distribution styles(ALL, EVEN, KEY) andsort keysfor performance

Usecompression and optimization techniquesto handle massive workloads

You’ll also exploreintegrations with key AWS servicessuch as S3, Glue, Kinesis, and Lambda, plus connections with BI tools likeQuickSight and Tableaufor end-to-end analytics pipelines.

By the end of this course, you’ll have the skills todesign, implement, and optimize scalable Redshift data warehousesmaking you an in-demand professional in any data-driven organization.
