About this course

Are you looking to automate your cloud database management and move away from manual console configuration? Programmatic database administration using Python allows you to deploy, manage, and query cloud databases reliably and repeatedly. This course guides you through the process of setting up, connecting to, and managing both relational (RDS PostgreSQL) and NoSQL (DynamoDB) databases on AWS using Python. You will transition from manual database setup to writing clean, automated scripts using Boto3 and psycopg2, incorporating modern Python development practices. What you'll learn: - Configure your local Python development environment securely using virtual environments and AWS CLI credentials. - Provision AWS RDS PostgreSQL instances and DynamoDB tables programmatically using the Boto3 SDK. - Establish secure database connections and execute SQL CRUD operations on PostgreSQL using psycopg2. - Perform NoSQL data operations including scanning, querying, and updating items in DynamoDB. - Apply modern Python practices such as type hinting and secure environment variable management to cloud database scripts. You will start with core cloud database concepts, local environment configuration, and security fundamentals. From there, you will progress through written explanations and structured code exercises to build scripts that deploy and interact with both relational and NoSQL cloud databases. This course is designed for beginner Python developers, aspiring cloud engineers, and database administrators who want to learn programmatic cloud database management. No prior AWS or database administration experience is required. Start reading today to master cloud database automation with Python.

This covers the basics well. I wish there were more opportunities to practice independently between modules.
