Amazon AWS Certified Database – Specialty

AWS Database Specialty certification exam assesses the candidate’s knowledge and understanding of databases, including the concepts of designing, migration, deployment, access, maintenance, automation, monitoring, security, and troubleshooting. Further, this exam validates the candidate’s ability in planning and maintain the optimal AWS database solution for improving performance, lowering costs, and enabling innovation.

Do you know how data has radically changed the landscape of everything in the cloud, the Internet, and your lives? If you’ve ever seen the “Customers also bought” tag on Amazon (that lead you to buy that super cool Bluetooth-enabled R2-D2), or used the databases in your company to better understand where the best places are to invest your profits, or simply used the contacts function of your phone to store all the important information about the people in your lives, you know how crucial data is. All these keep information in databases and most databases are housed in the AWS Cloud.
