PROGRAM: Cloud Technologies
CREDIT HOURS MIN: 3
LECTURE HOURS MIN: 2
LAB HOURS MIN: 2
DATE OF LAST REVISION: Fall, 2020
Designed as a dual purpose course, providing students with the necessary skills to understand and apply Linux and virtualization concepts while maintaining a clear division between subjects. Students will apply fundamental concepts with project-based content exercises. Students will have a strong understanding of critical Linux and virtual technologies. Students will demonstrate the ability to install, manage, monitor, configure, and troubleshoot the fundamental systems and services available in most major Linux operating system distributions. Further study concentrates on the file system organization service, command line language, file system, and print service permissions found in the Linux operating system. Virtualization technologies include the exploration, installation, and troubleshooting of various virtualization software packages to obtain the skills necessary to choose and implement hypervisor environments for client-level operating systems. Students are required to demonstrate course objectives through the appropriate Linux certification exam preparation materials.
MAJOR COURSE LEARNING OBJECTIVES: Upon successful completion of this course the student will be expected to:
- Use the command line for help, listing directories & files, and archiving files.

CERTIFICATION ASSOCIATED COURSE:
All students enrolled in this course are required to take the corresponding certification exam at some point on or before the last day of the course. The seat, allowing the student to take the certification exam, was paid for by the student as a consumable fee at the beginning of the course, along with tuition. If the student does not take the exam, the student will earn an “F” for the class. If the student takes the exam and does not pass the exam, the highest grade possible in the course is a “B.” However, if the student passes the exam, it will account for 20% of the total course grade. Students will be assessed the current fee in order to take the examination. This consumable fee will be automatically encumbered upon enrollment in the course.
CERTIFICATION/LICENSURE DISCLAIMER:
Ivy Tech cannot guarantee that any student will pass a certification or licensing exam. Your success will be determined by several factors beyond the instruction you are given in the classroom including your test-taking skills, your willingness to study outside of class, and your satisfactory completion of appropriate practice exams. Certification exam questions are drawn from databases of tens of thousands of possible questions and no two people are asked exactly the same progression of questions. Therefore, a thorough understanding of the subject matter is required. The goal of Ivy Tech in providing a certification exam studies class is to assist you in understanding the material sufficiently to provide a firm foundation for your studies as you prepare for the exam.
