Virtual, Private Virtual Classroom
A convenient and interactive learning experience, that enables you to attend one of our courses from the comfort of your own home or anywhere you can log on. We offer Virtual Classroom on selected live classroom courses where this will appear as an option under the location drop down if available. These can also be booked as Private Virtual Classrooms for exclusive business sessions.
Private
A private training session for your team. Groups can be of any size, at a location of your choice including our training centres.
Certificate of Attendance As a trusted Google Cloud Partner, Jellyfish has been selected by Google to facilitate the delivery of this three-day course.
During the session, you’ll learn about authentication and authorization, generative AI for developers, and continuous integration and delivery for your apps running in Google Cloud.
We’ll teach you about event-based applications and the use of service orchestration and choreography to coordinate microservices. We’ll also cover Cloud Functions, which means you’ll be able to go on and implement single-purpose functions that respond to HTTP requests and process events within your cloud infrastructure.
Our Developing Applications with Google Cloud course is available as a private training session that can be delivered virtually or at a location of your choice in South Africa.
