When will I have access to the lectures and assignments?

To access the course materials, assignments and to earn a Certificate, you will need to purchase the Certificate experience when you enroll in a course. You can try a Free Trial instead, or apply for Financial Aid. The course may offer 'Full Course, No Certificate' instead. This option lets you see all course materials, submit required assessments, and get a final grade. This also means that you will not be able to purchase a Certificate experience.

What will I get if I subscribe to this Specialization?

When you enroll in the course, you get access to all of the courses in the Specialization, and you earn a certificate when you complete the work. Your electronic Certificate will be added to your Accomplishments page - from there, you can print your Certificate or add it to your LinkedIn profile.

Is financial aid available?

Yes. In select learning programs, you can apply for financial aid or a scholarship if you can’t afford the enrollment fee. If fin aid or scholarship is available for your learning program selection, you’ll find a link to apply on the description page.

Did you know that 96% of organizations experience unplanned downtime, costing an average of $5,600 per minute? This critical reality makes engineering resilient cloud data infrastructure not just a best practice—it's a business imperative.

This Short Course was created to help data engineers and platform architects accomplish the mission-critical task of building cloud data warehouses that deliver both optimal ROI and bulletproof reliability. By completing this course, you'll be able to automate infrastructure provisioning with code-based deployment systems, make data-driven decisions on compute and storage configurations that maximize cost-effectiveness, and architect disaster recovery systems that protect against catastrophic failures with minimal data loss. By the end of this course, you will be able to: - Apply Infrastructure as Code (IaC) to provision a cloud data warehouse - Analyze infrastructure cost versus performance across compute and storage options - Create a cross-region disaster recovery architecture with a 15-minute Recovery Point Objective This course is unique because it combines hands-on Terraform automation with real-world TPC-DS benchmarking and enterprise-grade disaster recovery planning—skills that directly translate to building production-ready data platforms. To be successful in this project, you should have a background in SQL, basic cloud computing concepts, and familiarity with data warehouse fundamentals.

Module details
