Additionally, we will share reasons not to use certain services and reasons that prevent the use of a specific service. We will also discuss the migration of on-premises or other database solutions to AWS services. Throughout this course we will be using an example game concept, Farm the Moon, to show common use cases and the AWS services used to run them. The modules in the course are as follows: Module 1: AWS for Games - Databases, Module 2: AWS for Games - Databases: Use Cases, Module 3: AWS for Games - Databases: Migration Support and Tools, Module 4: AWS for Games - Databases: Course Conclusion.
