You wouldn’t write code without some design work, would you? You wouldn’t build a solution without at least some requirements, right? But how often do people dive into learning without a real plan – without considering the time constraints and how to learn as efficiently as possible?

Learning strategically means choosing what to learn (and how that has changed in the past few years), when to learn it, how to learn it and even what not to learn. The hour you spend in this session may save you dozens of hours of frustration and wasted time over the next year – a great return on your investment. (Hint – if you aren’t thinking about ROI as part of your learning strategy, you’re doing it wrong).

Learning Strategies / Impact of Pandemic on Learning

Deploying applications to the cloud is a strategy that many businesses use when developing products. Not only does the cloud offer greatly increased scalability and security compared to classic deployment strategies, the costs can be significantly lower. However, if not managed correctly, cloud deployment costs can be very high. How can we manage our cloud applications to minimise cost  and maximise value?

In this informative 60-minute talk, we’ll go over the following real-world topics:

Understanding and analysing your cloud costs 
Managing deployment costs by optimising vCPU and vRAM 
Understanding the costs of data storage and access 
Scaling to zero 
Choosing a different service or cloud provider, is it the right option for you? 
Which clouds and services are the most cost effective? 
Tactics for safely rolling out cost reduction strategies 
Getting the most out of your cloud instances 
Q/A Period where we discuss your own specific cloud deployment cost scenario 
And much more!

Managing Cloud Deployment Costs

In this webinar, we’ll jump into our 2023 State of Upskilling report, which shines a light on the current state of tech skill development. Join Mads Howard, Sage People Centric Security Lead; Nick Russo, Cisco Technical Leader; and Chris Palmer, Pluralsight Principal Consultant for Workforce Transformation, for a lively discussion on their real-world experiences and strategies on upskilling.

We also talk key insights from the report, including:

How the economy has impacted upskilling and talent mobility

The top skills gaps and barriers organisations face

Actionable takeaways to optimise your upskilling investments

Organisations that continue to invest in their current talent set themselves up for success—in any economic environment.

2023 State of Upskilling: Navigating economic uncertainty

More and more organizations find themselves juggling multiple cloud providers—some through careful planning, but many by happenstance. 
Regardless of their journey, many companies may be asking, “what now?”

Join Pluralsight author and cloud expert Janani Ravi for an in-depth discussion on how to build a successful hybrid, multi-cloud strategy. 

You’ll learn:
- Popular beliefs about cloud, and the evidence that supports and contradicts those beliefs
- Questions to ask when building and implementing a cloud strategy (and what the answers should look like)
- Technological design patterns that matter in a hybrid, multi-cloud, ML/AI-permeated world

CIO Guide, Building a successful hybrid, multi-cloud strategy

If the last few years have proved anything, it’s that the world is so unpredictable, you can never truly future-proof your team. 
You can, however, build a future-proficient team. One with the talent and mobility to adapt to coming disruption in all its forms. Organisations need to change the way they think about and invest in their tech teams, they must invest in their people and processes first before implementing new technology. 
Tech strategies, or how you leverage technology to achieve your organisation’s goals, are directly affected by your organisation’s talent strategies. Talent strategies that are data-backed and human-supported are the prerequisite for effective tech strategies.

It shouldn’t surprise anyone that 91% of tech leaders believe implementing new technologies in their organisation requires continual investment in talent and business processes. Investing in the right talent strategies means organisations can no longer afford to participate by being passive consumers of talent. They must, instead, redefine traditions by becoming creators of talent. 

Join this session by Pluralsight EVP EMEA, Sean Farrington to learn how Pluralsight can support you to lead in a cloud-first world.

Lead in a cloud-first world

According to Pluralsight's State of Cloud report, 75% of tech leaders state they are building all new products and features in the cloud moving forward. 
However, 64% of learners say they’re new to cloud computing and only 8% of learners surveyed say they have significant cloud-related experience. This is not a skills gap, it is a skills canyon.
Join this session in which Pluralsight's GM of Skills, Gary Eimerman explains the big picture Pluralsight sees around Cloud Transformation and how the recently acquired A Cloud Guru platform can play a vital role in upskilling your teams for a successful cloud transformation.

Cloud Transformation: The Big Picture

Organisations everywhere are trying to leverage cloud computing to achieve business or mission goals. For today’s business, cloud represents a wholesale change in how information technology is delivered.

In this webinar, we'll discuss cloud computing and the security challenge of it all. First, we'll explore a short history of cloud computing. Next, we'll cover the basic cloud computing concepts and introduce the key cloud computing transition security challenges.

Finally, we'll learn how to be able to describe the value this new model delivers and explain how to effectively address some of the most important cloud cyber security concerns.

The importance of cloud security

Modern application architecture isn't what it used to be. 
Maybe in your organization you've already evolved from monolithic applications to a distributed architecture with Web APIs or Microservices. But now that the cloud has matured there are now also several new cloud-exclusive options to consider. 

The goal of this session is to help you make sense of it all. It offers a comparison of all these technologies. 
I'll start with giving you a quick overview of the ones that are already around for some time and then you'll learn about the new kids on the block like serverless computing, cloud service buses and cloud databases. 

Join us for this session with Pluralsight Author Roland Guijt, Microsoft MVP, international speaker, consultant and trainer specializing in cloud and web technology. You'll leave with confidence to make the right architectural decisions in your organization.

Understanding Modern Distributed Cloud Architecture

We often find ourselves enthusiastic for any new "silver bullet" that promises the possibility of addressing our tech development workforce and have great aspirations for the outcomes. 
The reality can be rather different - we don't think of the 'How to' but more about the 'How do'. 

Hear from Marnie Threapleton, Head of Professional Services EMEA, how Pluralsight Professional Services can align your platform to your organisation and workforce to realise value and accelerate your tech workforce development faster.

Making sense of a technology platform to realise and accelerate value

Key takeaways:

- What organisational constructs are essential for the success of a cloud transformation

- How to spot each anti-pattern and what steps can be taken to avoid them

- When and how to implement learning objectives to guide resources to embrace the cloud

- How to structure teams to avoid long-term information silos
