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!

ICTSAD612 - Implement and maintain uses of containerisation

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

Assess containerisation needs for application

  1. Research and select vendor containerisation technology according to business needs
  2. Obtain and review technical specifications, infrastructure and systems requirements for container service and runtime
  3. Assess responsibility and requirements of microservice architecture according to business needs
  4. Check and confirm installation of runtime environment for containerisation technology
  5. Review and select base container image according to business needs
  6. Author container image file for defining base image, working directory, application code, environment configuration and commands
  7. Determine container image name applying industry standards and conventions
  8. Build container image from authored file
  9. Run a new instance of container from image
  10. Confirm connectivity of published ports for running container instance
  11. Test, debug and fix the running instance of containerised application
  12. Run additional container instances from image
  13. Stop running container instances
