As a data professional, you understand that a data model is primarily used for designing databases. But as more databases move up to the cloud, data modeling can also serve as a visual approach to capture concepts and relationships for database services, such as Amazon RDS, Aurora, and Redshift. Data models can demystify the complexities perceived and associated with managing and modeling cloud databases. Henry Nirsberger will show you how conceptual data models for Amazon database services can clarify confusion and accelerate an understanding of these complex offerings.
