COURSE DESCRIPTION
Welcome to the Amazon ElastiCache course! Amazon ElastiCache is a fully managed, in-memory caching service that enables you to deploy, operate, and scale popular open-source caching engines, such as Redis and Memcached, in the AWS cloud. ElastiCache improves the performance of web applications by retrieving data from high-throughput, low-latency in-memory caches instead of relying entirely on slower disk-based databases. This course is perfect for developers, architects, and IT professionals who want to learn how to enhance the performance of their applications using caching solutions.
In this course, you will gain a thorough understanding of how to use Amazon ElastiCache to create and manage caching layers that boost the performance and scalability of your applications. You will learn about the architecture of ElastiCache, explore different caching strategies, and understand how to optimize cache performance and manage costs. By the end of this course, you will be able to design and implement effective caching solutions in AWS.
