James Leone
I work in cloud engineering and architecture at IBM, across DevOps, infrastructure-as-code, and cloud security — and increasingly, AI governance and agent infrastructure. My thing is the bridge between technical execution and business strategy: making complex systems understandable, governable, and actually shippable.
I have published video courses on HashiCorp Vault and Terraform (Cybrary, 2019–2020), and I hold CCSK and Certified Scrum Master certifications.
What this site is
Let’s Build Azure is where I publish opinions and analysis at a depth LinkedIn doesn’t allow — long-form articles on cloud, security, and AI, drawn from real work. My LinkedIn posts are usually a focused slice of an article; if one of them sent you here, welcome to the full version.
Everything here is my own view, not my employer’s.
Find me on LinkedIn.
