SQL Server on Amazon RDS (Free Course)

23rd July 2020 By John McCormack Leave a Comment

SQL Server on Amazon RDS Course

I’ve put together a short video series on running SQL Server on Amazon RDS. It covers some basics and can be completed in around an hour, with several very short videos. It’s intended for SQL professionals who are just getting started with AWS, but might also be enjoyed by AWS users, looking to get started with a relational database management system.

It’s my first attempt at putting together a training plan. So any feedback will be gratefully received. Either in the blog comments or YouTube video comments.
