Lunch and Learns
Empower Your Teams with Bite-Sized, Instructor-Led Training
Is your team struggling to fit professional development into their packed schedules?
Our Lunch and Learn sessions offer a flexible solution. Designed specifically for Australian and New Zealand businesses, these live, virtual sessions provide high-quality instructor-led training on AWS and Microsoft technologies—delivered conveniently over lunch!
Students on all courses also gain access to extended labs, so they can practice what they have learned in a lab environment, before implementing in the real world.
Whether you need foundational training, or training in a particular specialty like Security or Machine Learning, Bespoke Training has access to AWS and Microsoft experts.
Our Lunch and Learns can be run in as little as 4 weeks and are designed for L&D and HR Managers, Tech Team Leads, IT Managers, and CTOs to upskill their teams.
These are the hot topics currently in demand.
AI and ML are very hot topics at the moment, as organisations strive to keep up with the changing technologies and ways of working. We can tailor a lunch and learn specifically to bring your team up to speed, and share some tips for moving forward.
Security of your data is currently the biggest threat to Australian and New Zealand organisations. Whether you need to increase awareness, or delve into a specific cybersecurity topic, we can help. Utilising all the existing cloud online infrastructure and array of apps can be challenging.
Data is the new gold. Whether it’s data storage, data security or data analysis, there is no denying the need to be constantly upskilling on data. As organisations continue to rely on data to drive decision-making and innovation, staying ahead of the curve is essential for maintaining a competitive edge.

Cloud Fundamentals
This introductory session would cover the foundational cloud services offered by both AWS and Azure, such as compute, storage, networking, and databases. Participants would learn the basics of services like AWS EC2 and Azure Virtual Machines for compute, AWS S3 and Azure Blob Storage for storage, and the basics of networking across both platforms. This is an ideal session for beginners or teams transitioning to the cloud, as it provides a clear comparison of core offerings on each platform and establishes a solid foundation in cloud technology.
Hybrid Cloud Architectures: Integrating AWS and Azure
This session would focus on how organisations can create a hybrid cloud environment using both AWS and Microsoft Azure. Topics would include connecting on-premises infrastructure with both clouds, managing workloads across multiple cloud platforms, and leveraging tools like Azure Arc and AWS Outposts for hybrid solutions.
Cloud Security: Best Practices
A session on cloud security would explore how to protect workloads across both AWS and Azure environments. Topics could include identity and access management with AWS IAM and Azure Active Directory, securing data in transit and at rest, and using security tools like Azure Sentinel and AWS Security Hub for centralised monitoring and threat detection.
Modern Application Development: Building on AWS and Azure
This session would cover how to build and deploy modern, scalable applications using both cloud platforms. Topics would include containerisation with AWS ECS and Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS), serverless computing with AWS Lambda and Azure Functions, and CI/CD pipelines across both platforms using AWS CodePipeline and Azure DevOps.
Data Analytics and AI Solutions
This session would dive into the data and AI services available on both AWS and Azure. Topics could include data lakes with AWS S3 and Azure Data Lake Storage, data analytics with AWS Redshift and Azure Synapse Analytics, and machine learning with AWS SageMaker and Azure Machine Learning, demonstrating how to leverage both platforms for advanced data and AI projects.
Cost Management and Optimisation in Multi-Cloud Environments
A session focused on cost management and optimisation strategies for organizations using both AWS and Azure. It would explore tools like AWS Cost Explorer and Azure Cost Management for tracking and managing cloud spending, as well as strategies for optimising costs across both cloud environments through reserved instances, spot instances, and right-sizing resources.
