About this course
Analytics is easier to understand when the discussion starts with a business struggling to use its information. Fundamentals of Analytics on AWS follows a media-company scenario to introduce data challenges, analytics concepts and modern data architecture.
The two-part course connects the five Vs of big data, a high-level view of machine learning and AWS services with data lakes and warehouses. The scenario provides a consistent setting for considering how information supports operational and strategic decisions.

This is a useful route for a learner who wants to understand the architecture behind analytics rather than only create a chart. WikiFree recommends pairing it later with practical data analysis work. Knowing where data is stored and knowing how to interpret it are related, but distinct, skills.
Coursera estimates two hours for the instructional material. The course uses a company case to explain concepts; this overview does not describe that case as a portfolio project or claim that a production data platform is built during the course.
