Question 2

Which cloud platform should I train in — Azure, AWS, or Google Cloud?

Accepted Answer

The right cloud platform to train in depends primarily on which platform your organisation uses or plans to adopt. Microsoft Azure is the most widely used cloud platform in UK enterprises, particularly those already working within the Microsoft ecosystem including Microsoft 365 and the Power Platform. AWS is the largest cloud platform globally by market share and is prevalent in technology companies, startups, and organisations with diverse cloud-native workloads. Google Cloud Platform is widely used in data engineering, machine learning, and analytics-heavy organisations, and is particularly strong in BigQuery and Vertex AI. JBI offers training across all three platforms and can advise on which courses best match your organisation's environment.

Question 3

What Azure training courses are available and how do they differ?

Accepted Answer

JBI offers Azure training across a range of roles and levels. Azure Fundamentals is a one-day introduction for those new to cloud and Azure concepts. Azure Cloud Introduction is a three-day course covering core Azure services in depth. Azure Developer is a four-day course for developers building applications on Azure. Azure Administration is a four-day course for IT professionals managing Azure infrastructure. Azure DevOps and ALM covers using Azure DevOps for continuous integration, delivery, and application lifecycle management. Azure Integration Services is a five-day course covering Azure's enterprise integration tools including Logic Apps, Service Bus, API Management, and Event Grid. Azure Solutions Development and Security and Data Analytics Solutions with Azure Databricks address specialist topics in cloud application development and data analytics.

Question 4

What does the Azure Data Factory training course cover?

Accepted Answer

Azure Data Factory (ADF) is Microsoft's cloud-based data integration and ETL (extract, transform, load) service. JBI's two-day Azure Data Factory course covers the core concepts of ADF, building and managing data pipelines, connecting to on-premises and cloud data sources, transforming data using data flows and mapping transformations, monitoring and debugging pipelines, and integrating ADF with other Azure services such as Azure Data Lake, Azure SQL, and Azure Synapse Analytics. It is suitable for data engineers, ETL developers, and BI professionals working in or migrating to the Azure data platform.

Question 5

What is the difference between Azure DevOps and DevOps with Azure?

Accepted Answer

Azure DevOps is a Microsoft platform that provides a suite of tools for managing the full software development lifecycle — including Boards for project management, Repos for source control, Pipelines for CI/CD, Test Plans for testing, and Artifacts for package management. JBI's Azure DevOps and ALM course covers using this platform specifically. DevOps Essentials with Azure is a two-day course that takes a broader view of DevOps practices and principles, using Azure as the platform context, and is suited to those who want to understand DevOps workflows and culture alongside Azure tooling rather than focusing solely on the Azure DevOps product.

Question 6

What is Azure Databricks and who should attend the training course?

Accepted Answer

Azure Databricks is a cloud-based analytics platform built on Apache Spark and optimised for the Azure environment. It is used for large-scale data engineering, machine learning model development, and advanced analytics workflows. JBI's two-day Data Analytics Solutions with Azure Databricks course covers the Databricks environment and workspace, working with notebooks, data ingestion and transformation using Spark, building and evaluating machine learning models, and integrating Databricks with other Azure data services. It is suitable for data engineers, data scientists, and analytics engineers working within the Azure ecosystem who need to process and analyse large datasets at scale.

Question 7

What does the AWS for Developers course cover?

Accepted Answer

The AWS for Developers course is a four-day programme designed for software developers who need to build and deploy applications on Amazon Web Services. It covers core AWS services relevant to developers including compute (EC2, Lambda), storage (S3, DynamoDB, RDS), application integration (SQS, SNS, API Gateway), identity and access management (IAM), and deployment tooling (CodePipeline, CodeDeploy, Elastic Beanstalk). The course includes hands-on exercises that reflect real-world application development and deployment scenarios on AWS. It complements the two-day AWS Introduction course, which provides a platform-level overview suitable for those newer to AWS.

Question 8

What does the Google Cloud Platform training course cover?

Accepted Answer

JBI's three-day Google Cloud Platform course provides a comprehensive introduction to GCP for engineers and technical professionals. It covers the GCP architecture and core services including Compute Engine, Cloud Run, Google Kubernetes Engine, Cloud Storage, BigQuery, Cloud SQL, Cloud Pub/Sub, and IAM. The course includes practical exercises deploying and managing resources on GCP and covers the platform's key differentiators in data analytics, machine learning infrastructure, and Kubernetes. The GCP Data Fusion and BigQuery course is a complementary two-day specialist programme focusing on GCP's data integration and analytics capabilities.

Question 9

Can cloud training be customised for corporate teams?

Accepted Answer

Yes. All cloud training courses at JBI can be delivered as customised onsite or online programmes for corporate teams. Content can be tailored to the team's specific cloud provider, existing architecture, tools in use, and learning objectives — for example, a team migrating workloads to Azure can receive training focused on their migration path and target architecture, or a development team adopting serverless on AWS can receive training focused on Lambda, API Gateway, and related services. JBI has delivered cloud training for engineering and IT teams at organisations including the BBC, NHS, Cisco, Sky, RBS, EDF, and Capita.

Question 10

Are cloud training courses kept up to date with the latest platform releases?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Azure, AWS, and Google Cloud Platform all release new features and services on a continuous basis, and JBI's cloud training content is regularly reviewed and updated to reflect these changes. This includes updates to new Azure services and pricing models, AWS re:Invent announcements, GCP capability releases, and evolving best practices in cloud architecture, security, and cost management. Delegates learn skills and concepts that are current and applicable to the versions and services available on each platform today.

Question 11

Accepted Answer

Yes. All JBI Training courses run as live online instructor-led sessions as well as in-person in London and as bespoke on-site training at your organisation.
