Training & Resources  

As UBC transitions from VMware to our multi-hybrid cloud environment (OpenStack and AWS), we are committed to ensuring teams feel supported, oriented, and confident operating in the new platforms.

All detailed documentation, slide decks, and recorded sessions are maintained in Confluence:
