Tips for gathering evidence to demonstrate your skills

The important thing to remember when gathering evidence is that the more evidence the better - that is, the more evidence you gather to demonstrate your skills, the more confident an assessor can be that you have learned the skills not just at one point in time, but are continuing to apply and develop those skills (as opposed to just learning for the test!). Furthermore, one piece of evidence that you collect will not usualy demonstrate all the required criteria for a unit of competency, whereas multiple overlapping pieces of evidence will usually do the trick!

ICTSAD613 - Install and configure container orchestration services

What evidence can you provide to prove your understanding of each of the following citeria?

Establish and set up container orchestration services (COS)

  1. Assess business specifications, application and business needs for container orchestration services (COS) with required personnel
  2. Obtain and review infrastructure requirements and technical specifications for using container technologies according to business needs
  3. Research and select suitable vendor (COS) software according to business needs
  4. Install COS on host computer or virtual machine
  5. Add host computers/virtual machines/nodes using COS
  6. Select and promote node to manage and host all nodes
  7. Set up and confirm group of nodes run as required
  8. Add different types of images/containers to the service
  9. Name and move containers as required
  10. Create pod/swarm and run container in pod
  11. Configure scaling policy according to business need
  12. Use instrumentation to configure scaling in and out according to business needs
  13. Test and confirm container set up, function of containers and required resources
  14. Finalise and create user documentation according to business needs
