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.
