Why DBS-C01

The Ultimate AWS Database Credential

Every application at scale requires a purpose-built database strategy. DBS-C01 proves you can select, design, migrate, and secure the right AWS database for any workload — from transactional to analytical.

Specialty Cert — Database Expert

DBS-C01 requires deep hands-on experience with AWS database services. It's the definitive credential for database administrators, architects, and cloud database engineers.

Purpose-Built Databases for Every Workload

AWS offers 15+ purpose-built database services. DBS-C01 teaches you to match the right database to every workload — relational, NoSQL, in-memory, graph, time-series, and ledger.

Database Migration at Any Scale

DBS-C01 covers AWS DMS and SCT migrations from Oracle, SQL Server, and MySQL to Aurora or RDS — critical skills as enterprises accelerate their database modernisation journeys.

Performance Tuning Expertise

From Performance Insights and DynamoDB DAX to Redshift WLM — DBS-C01 teaches you to diagnose and resolve database performance bottlenecks at enterprise scale.

In-Demand Across BFSI, Healthcare & Retail

Every regulated industry needs database specialists who understand encryption, IAM authentication, Secrets Manager rotation, and compliance for PCI-DSS and HIPAA.

Security from the Database Up

DBS-C01 includes KMS encryption, IAM database authentication, VPC isolation, and Secrets Manager — the complete security toolkit for database architects.

Curriculum

10-Module DBS-C01 Programme

From Aurora architecture to DynamoDB design patterns, migration with DMS, ElastiCache, performance tuning, and security — fully aligned to DBS-C01.

  • Relational (RDS, Aurora), NoSQL (DynamoDB, DocumentDB), in-memory (ElastiCache)
  • Graph (Neptune), ledger (QLDB), time-series (Timestream), wide-column (Keyspaces)
  • Purpose-built database selection criteria and decision framework
  • AWS database migration overview and modernisation paths
  • Aurora cluster architecture (writer endpoint + reader endpoints)
  • Multi-AZ deployments and automatic failover behaviour
  • Aurora Global Database for cross-Region disaster recovery
  • Aurora Serverless v2 — auto-scaling capacity units
  • Aurora Parallel Query and Babelfish for PostgreSQL compatibility
  • RDS engine options (MySQL, PostgreSQL, Oracle, SQL Server, MariaDB)
  • Read Replicas for read scaling and cross-Region replication
  • Multi-AZ for synchronous standby and automatic failover
  • Automated backups and point-in-time recovery (PITR)
  • RDS Proxy for connection pooling in serverless architectures
  • Partition key design for uniform distribution and hot partition avoidance
  • Sort key for range queries and composite key patterns
  • Global Secondary Indexes (GSI) and Local Secondary Indexes (LSI)
  • DynamoDB Streams for change data capture and event-driven patterns
  • DynamoDB DAX for microsecond caching
  • DMS replication instances, tasks, and endpoints
  • Full-load vs ongoing replication (CDC — change data capture)
  • Homogeneous migrations (MySQL to RDS MySQL) — minimal complexity
  • Heterogeneous migrations with Schema Conversion Tool (Oracle to Aurora)
  • Continuous replication for minimal downtime cutover
  • Redis vs Memcached — selection criteria for different caching needs
  • Redis cluster mode enabled vs disabled — horizontal scaling
  • ElastiCache replication groups and Multi-AZ failover
  • Redis Global Datastore for cross-Region active-active replication
  • Caching patterns — lazy loading, write-through, TTL strategies
  • Redshift node types (RA3 vs DC2) and cluster sizing
  • Distribution styles (EVEN, KEY, ALL) and sort key selection
  • Redshift Spectrum for querying S3 data without loading
  • Redshift ML and SageMaker integration for in-database ML
  • Redshift Serverless and concurrency scaling
  • RDS Performance Insights — wait events and SQL digest analysis
  • DynamoDB capacity mode selection (provisioned vs on-demand)
  • ElastiCache hit rate optimisation and eviction policies
  • Redshift query optimisation (EXPLAIN, WLM, VACUUM, ANALYZE)
  • Table maintenance best practices for RDS MySQL and PostgreSQL
  • Automated backup windows and retention periods for RDS and Aurora
  • Manual snapshots and cross-Region copy for disaster recovery
  • Aurora cluster cloning for zero-copy test/dev environments
  • DynamoDB point-in-time recovery (PITR) and on-demand backups
  • Redshift snapshot and restore — cross-account and cross-Region
  • KMS encryption for RDS, Aurora, DynamoDB, ElastiCache, and Redshift
