Course Description
The difference between relational and non-relational databases is relational databases store data in rows and columns like a spreadsheet and the data in the tables may have relationships associated with them or other dependencies. Non-relational databases storage model is document oriented and the data is presented in a “laundry list” style. In these lessons you will learn the different types of cloud storage and the benefits for each of them, the cloud relational and non-relational databases, as well as how to use MongoDB Atlas or database as a service (DaaS).
What You'll Learn
- Explore cloud compute and virtual machines as cloud architecture components
- Learn about the different types of cloud storage and the benefits of each
- Compare cloud relational and non-relational databases
- Understand how relational databases store data in rows and columns with related dependencies
- Examine document-oriented, non-relational database storage models
- Use MongoDB Atlas as a Database as a Service (DaaS)
Key Takeaways
- Relational databases store data in rows and columns like a spreadsheet, and the data in the tables may have relationships or other dependencies.
- Non-relational databases use a document-oriented storage model that presents data in a 'laundry list' style.
- The course covers different types of cloud storage along with the benefits of each.
- The course addresses both cloud relational and non-relational databases.
- MongoDB Atlas is presented as an example of Database as a Service (DaaS).
