Cloud Lab Overview

Amazon Keyspaces is an AWS-managed NoSQL database service compatible with Apache Cassandra. It offers high availability, scalability, and serverless operation, simplifying database management for developers.

In this Cloud Lab, you’ll create an EC2 instance to connect to Amazon Keyspaces using the CLI. You will then use it to create a table containing real-time weather data. Moreover, you will create some entries and read them from the table. Then, you will also update the data and delete some entries in your table. At the end, you will delete the table and the keyspace.

After completing this Cloud Lab, you will have a comprehensive understanding of how to effectively work with Amazon Keyspaces, enabling you to perform CRUD operations to manage your data in the AWS ecosystem.
