Course Overview
Hi, everyone. My name is Rajdeep Saha, and welcome to my course, Amazon ElastiCache: Best Practices. I am a senior cloud architect at a Fortune Top 10 company where I migrate real enterprise applications into AWS. I am a published instructor, public speaker, and I have AWS professional certification. Amazon ElastiCache is a fully managed in‑memory data store from AWS compatible with Redis and Memcached, and it powers real‑time applications with submillisecond latency. Amazon ElastiCache is a popular choice for use cases like caching, session stores, gaming, real‑time analytics, and more. In this course, we are going to cover how to architect, automate, and optimize Amazon ElastiCache with both Redis and Memcached. This course will also get you prepared for the ElastiCache section of the AWS Database Specialty Certification exam. Some of the major topics that we will cover include ElastiCache components from basic to advanced. Then, we will learn ElastiCache migration and automation using CloudFormation. Then, we will explore ElastiCache security, logging, monitoring, and troubleshooting. Then, we will dive deep into optimizing ElastiCache performance. At the end of the day, this is a certification exam course, so we will test our learnings with lots of questions and answers for the certification exam preparation. By the end of this course, you will know how to design, build, run, and operate ElastiCache systems. You do not require any prior ElastiCache experience. I hope you will join me on this journey to learn key features and design well‑architected, highly available, and resilient ElastiCache applications with the ElastiCache: Best Practices course here, at Pluralsight.
