Securing and Isolating Sensitive Data

Master the essential AWS data services that power modern applications. In this hands-on course, you'll learn when and why to use DynamoDB, S3, ElastiCache, and OpenSearch by matching each service to real-world access patterns and consistency requirements. You'll design scalable DynamoDB tables with high-cardinality partition keys, perform CRUD operations, and compare Query vs Scan to optimize performance and cost. On the S3 side, you'll implement lifecycle policies to automatically transition data through storage classes and use versioning to protect against accidental deletion. The course wraps up with securing sensitive data end-to-end — classifying PII and PHI, managing secrets with Secrets Manager and Parameter Store, applying data masking techniques, and implementing multi-tenant isolation using IAM condition keys. By the end, you'll be able to choose, build with, and secure AWS data stores for production applications.
