Azul has launched its PartnerConnect training and certification programme to empower channel partners to provide advanced Java advisory and delivery services. This new initiative will enable partners to become an instrumental part of Azul’s customer success by providing joint customers with fully optimised Java infrastructures, efficient and well executed OpenJDK migrations, improved Java application performance and increased DevOps productivity with code use analysis and vulnerability triage solutions.

The certification programme is self-paced, features a blend of training content, exercises and assets and a certification exam. The various training curriculums are comprised of sequential modules, covering topics such as Java fundamentals, OpenJDK migration best practices, performance tuning, and cloud cost optimisation to enable partners to hone their Java advisory and delivery skills. The training spans sales, engineering, solution specialist and consultancy roles, and is catalogued into three groups:

● Sales Professional Certifications: Equips sales teams with go-to-market messaging and skills to effectively position Azul Platform Core, Azul Platform Prime, and Azul Intelligence Cloud to customer stakeholders.
