Certificate of Attendance

Jellyfish is committed to providing world-leading Cloud-based Training solutions that help clients succeed. In this course, we discuss challenges with data integration and the need for a data integration platform.

You’ll learn how Cloud Data Fusion can help to effectively integrate data from a variety of sources and formats, as well as generate insights. We’ll take a look at Cloud Data Fusion’s main components and how they work, how to process batch data and real-time streaming data with visual pipeline design, rich tracking of metadata and data lineage, and how to deploy data pipelines on various execution engines.

Our Data Integration with Cloud Data Fusion course is available as a private training session that can be delivered via Virtual Classroom or at a location of your choice in the US.
