Build a Secure Data Lake in AWS using AWS Lake Formation

Overview

In this course, we will be creating a data lake using AWS Lake Formation and bring data warehouse capabilites to the data lake to form the lakehouse architecture using Amazon Redshift. Using Lake Formation, we also collect and catalog data from different data sources, move the data into our S3 data lake, and then clean and classify them.
