Competence grid for part 1

Use this grid to judge whether you have mastered the basics. Read each row and solve the task next to it without looking anything up. If it comes easily, you have reached the goal. If not, the link in the last column takes you to the right place. In the Swiss framework curriculum, part 1 mainly relates to the competences B7.1 (ICT architecture), B9.1 and B9.2 (security concepts and protection needs), A1.5 (legal foundations) and B14.7 (charging for ICT services).

I can …	Task	Look up
name and explain the five characteristics of a cloud	Name the five NIST characteristics with one example each from the lab.	Characteristics of a cloud

tell the deployment models apart	Explain why Wolkenwerk Bern is a community cloud.	Service and deployment models
tell type 1 and type 2 hypervisors apart	Assign KVM, Hyper-V and VirtualBox to a type and say which type data centers usually run.	Virtualization
explain how KVM, QEMU and libvirt work together	Describe the path from a command in OpenNebula to a running VM.	Virtualization
