Our DevOps training course / boot camp  is designed to give students from both the developer and sysops practices experience of a selection of the tools that have emerged as part of the DevOps tool chain. We focus on the idea of deploying large-scale complex systems in the  AWS cloud.

In 5 days the course covers the basics of virtualisation with Amazon Web Services, using AMI in the cloud, continuous integration  and continuous deployment systems, containerisation with Docker, configuration management using both Ansible and Terraform  along with  monitoring and maintenance.

JBI Training offers a comprehensive range of Cloud and DevOps courses covering tools, practices, and platforms used across modern software engineering and infrastructure teams. Available courses include DevOps Introduction, DevOps Essentials with Azure, Kubernetes, Kubernetes for Developers, Kubernetes for Administrators, Kubernetes Beyond the Basics, Docker, Terraform, OpenTofu, Ansible, Puppet, Saltstack, Microservices Architecture, Software Architecture, Continuous Integration, Azure Solutions Development and Security, Data Analytics Solutions with Azure Databricks, and OpenStack Fundamentals. All courses are available as scheduled classroom sessions in London, as live online instructor-led training, or as customised onsite programmes for engineering and operations teams.
DevOps is a set of practices, cultural principles, and tools that integrates software development (Dev) and IT operations (Ops) to enable organisations to deliver applications and services faster and more reliably. It removes traditional barriers between development and operations teams, enabling continuous integration, continuous delivery, automated testing, and infrastructure as code. DevOps training is relevant because organisations that adopt DevOps practices consistently report faster release cycles, fewer deployment failures, quicker recovery from incidents, and reduced infrastructure costs. It is now a foundational discipline for technology teams across virtually every industry sector.
Terraform is an open-source infrastructure as code (IaC) tool developed by HashiCorp that allows engineers to define, provision, and manage cloud and on-premises infrastructure using human-readable configuration files. It supports a wide range of cloud providers including AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud, and follows a consistent write-plan-apply workflow. JBI's Terraform training course covers the core concepts of infrastructure as code, Terraform configuration language (HCL), provisioning resources across cloud providers, managing state, working with modules, and integrating Terraform into DevOps pipelines. The course is rated 4.8 out of 5 by delegates and is suitable for DevOps engineers, cloud engineers, and infrastructure architects.
Kubernetes (often abbreviated as K8s) is an open-source container orchestration platform that automates the deployment, scaling, and management of containerised applications across clusters of hosts. It is the de facto standard for running containerised workloads in production environments, both on-premises and in the cloud. JBI offers three Kubernetes courses to suit different roles and experience levels: the introductory Kubernetes course for those new to container orchestration, Kubernetes for Developers which focuses on building and deploying applications in Kubernetes environments, and Kubernetes for Administrators which covers cluster management, networking, storage, and security. A Kubernetes Beyond the Basics course is also available for those looking to extend their existing knowledge.
Docker is an open-source containerisation platform that enables developers to package application code together with its dependencies into portable, self-contained units called containers. Containers can run consistently across any environment — development, testing, or production — eliminating the common problem of applications behaving differently between environments. Docker and Kubernetes are closely related: Docker is typically used to build and package containers, while Kubernetes is used to orchestrate and manage those containers at scale. JBI's Docker training course is a natural starting point for engineers before progressing to Kubernetes training.
Terraform and Ansible are both widely used in DevOps environments but serve different primary purposes. Terraform is an infrastructure provisioning tool — it is used to create, modify, and destroy infrastructure resources such as virtual machines, networks, databases, and cloud services. Ansible is a configuration management and application deployment tool — it is used to configure the software environment on infrastructure that has already been provisioned. In practice, many teams use both tools together: Terraform to build the infrastructure and Ansible to configure it. JBI offers dedicated training courses for both tools, and the DevOps Introduction course covers both as part of a broader DevOps toolchain curriculum.
Microservices architecture is an approach to building software systems as a collection of small, independently deployable services, each responsible for a specific business capability and communicating with other services through well-defined APIs. It contrasts with monolithic architecture, where all functionality is contained within a single application. JBI's Microservices Architecture course covers the principles of microservices design, domain-driven design, service communication patterns, tools for enabling microservices, security and testing considerations, and how to migrate from monolithic to microservices-based systems. It is suitable for software architects, senior developers, technical leads, and engineering managers who are designing or evolving complex distributed systems.
Yes. All DevOps and Cloud courses at JBI can be delivered as customised onsite or online programmes for corporate teams. Content can be tailored to match the team's existing toolchain, cloud provider, infrastructure environment, and specific learning objectives. For example, a team using AWS with Terraform and Ansible can receive training focused specifically on those tools and that cloud platform, using exercises and examples relevant to their own environment. JBI has delivered DevOps training for technology teams at organisations including the BBC, NHS, Cisco, Sky, RBS, and Capita.
OpenTofu is an open-source fork of Terraform that was created by the community in response to HashiCorp's decision to change Terraform's licensing from the Mozilla Public Licence to the Business Source Licence in 2023. OpenTofu is maintained by the Linux Foundation and aims to remain fully open-source and community-governed. It is largely compatible with existing Terraform configurations and is increasingly being adopted by organisations that require a fully open-source infrastructure as code solution. JBI's OpenTofu training course covers the core concepts, differences from Terraform, migration considerations, and practical use of OpenTofu for provisioning and managing infrastructure.
Continuous Integration (CI) is a software development practice in which developers frequently merge their code changes into a shared repository, where automated builds and tests are run to detect integration issues as early as possible. It is a foundational DevOps practice because it reduces the risk of integration failures, provides fast feedback to developers, and enables teams to release software more frequently and with greater confidence. JBI's Continuous Integration course covers the principles of CI, pipeline design, automated testing strategies, and integration with tools commonly used in modern DevOps environments. It is relevant for developers, DevOps engineers, and QA professionals working in Agile or continuous delivery workflows.
Yes. JBI's DevOps and Cloud training content is continuously reviewed and updated to reflect the latest releases and developments across the tools and platforms covered. This includes updates to Kubernetes, Terraform, Docker, Ansible, and Azure, as well as emerging topics such as AI-assisted infrastructure management, platform engineering, and FinOps practices. The curriculum is maintained to reflect how these tools are actively used in professional engineering environments, ensuring delegates learn skills that are immediately applicable in their roles.
