Course Description
Do you want to learn how to launch managed relational databases, or RDS, on AWS? Do you want to learn how to take snapshots, restore your DB instances, and implement all of those with your Python code without even logging into the AWS Console? Or Do you want to learn how to implement NoSQL DynamoDB tables on AWS?
Then this is the course you need on RDS and DynamoDB on AWS!
In this course, we’ll start by taking a look at the tools and the environment that we need to work with AWS resources. We’ll be using Python 3, and as per the IDE, I recommend you use PyCharm from JetBrains. It has a free community edition even!
After I teach you how you can set up your environment on both MacOS and Windows, we’ll create our credentials for AWS, which are the AWS Access Key and AWS Secret Access Key for programmatic access to AWS resources. You’ll learn how you can set your AWS credentials globally on your computers using AWS CLI. Before jumping into the implementation, for one last tip, I’ll show you how you can have auto-complete capabilities on your PyCharm IDE with PyBoto3!
Once we’re ready with our environment setup, we’ll start implementing our solution on AWS! And remember, we’ll do everything with Python code; not a single thing manually or by hand!
We’ll start off with RDS, or Relational Database Service, from AWS. I’ll teach you how to launch your own Amazon RDS instances purely with your Python code! Then we’ll learn how to take a snapshot, or, namely, back up our complete database instance. After that, I’ll teach you how to restore that snapshot you have created earlier so you can recover your database from failures!
Next up is DynamoDB! With this very popular NoSQL service from AWS, I’ll teach you how to create your own DynamoDB tables on AWS with Python! You’ll learn how to provide a key schema, attribute definitions, and apply throughput to your tables.
Lots of information, hands-on practice, and experience are waiting for you in this course on AWS. So, don't miss any more time and join me in this course to sharpen your skills on AWS using Python and Boto3!

Hi, I'm Niyazi Erdoğan. I'm a software engineer and AWS Certified Solutions Architect with over ten years of experience in various fields. I'm living in one of the most beautiful cities in the world, Istanbul.
I'm a self-taught programmer and I've been programming since I was in middle-school. My experience ranges from embedded development to server-side and client-side development technologies.
I started my career while I was only a student as a Java Developer in healthcare industry as a private contractor. Then I moved in to the largest telecommunication company of Turkey which is Turkcell. After several years and various different positions at Turkcell, I moved in to Portugal and worked for another large telecommunication company for several years with Java technologies.
After the telecommunication industry experience and several different experiences, I joined one of the largest companies of its sectors which is Siemens. I currently works at Siemens working with various Java and Cloud technologies
Besides my day job, I really enjoy developing software with lots of different technologies.On the other hand, I do love to follow tech conferences and blogs about latest technologies and tools. I also like to read books within or without my field of expertise and love to watch series like Westworld and Game of Thrones. And I make sure that I stay healthy with daily walking, running and workout.
