Hi there,

this might be another can of worms, but I'd still like to open it:

During the ifup/ifdown discussion we saw that a lot of Linux runs in 'the
cloud' these days. IaaS instances and container are an increasingly
important runtime environment for Linux, so we might want to spice a bit of
that into LPIC-1. In case we drop quotas (weight: 1) and lower the weight
of editors (weight 3 to 2), we would have two spare weight points which we
could invest in a new topic 102.6 -- Linux in the Cloud. Since it would
only be two weights, we can't go below the surface, so I would propose this
content:

* Understand concepts of virtualization and containerization.
* Understand common components of IaaS clouds (computing instances, block
storage (ephemeral + persistent), networking)
* Understand and how Linux is deployed in computing instances and
understand the role of cloud-init.
* Know Docker features, including the role of container images and
Dockerfiles.

I don't think we should require candidate to use any of these things, I'd
be glad if they'd knew how Linux is provisioned to an instance/container
and how a cloud/container is different from a regular installation. This
would also enable candidates to do their LPI experiments with free
instances some cloud providers offer; and it would be a nice bridge to the
LPIC-OT DevOps Tools Engineer.

Feel free to outvote me if you have any concerns; i.e. if you think this is
not adequate for two weights or if you think it's unreasonable for LPIC-1.

Fabian
