For this assignment, the Caduceus CTO, Eliza, has asked you to create a working proof of concept.

Step 1: Create an AWS Educate Account

CMIT 495 requires you to complete hands-on assignments in a  virtual environment. We will be using Amazon Web Services (AWS) as our  virtual environment. Amazon offers a free account for those that  register. The AWS Educate Video below provides step-by-step instructions  with visuals on how to register for a free AWS Educate account:

Step 2: Download the Week 1 Assignment Template

Watch the video and download the template from the Virtualization Assignment Resources page.

Step 3: Install and Configure a Virtual Machine

Using the newly created AWS free account, install and configure an Ubuntu server virtual machine (VM) using the most recent version of the 64-bit operating system.

You will need to provide a detailed overview of the steps  required to install the Ubuntu server operating system on the virtual  machine, including screenshots of each step in the process in the Week 1  Assignment Template.

 

For information on installing and configuring a virtual machine:

  • Search for and use AWS documentation and tutorials for instructions and guidance to complete the assignments.
  • Consult the AWS Connection Documentation in order to connect to the Ubuntu server.

Step 4: Complete the Week 1 Assignment Template and Upload to the Assignment Folder

Answer the questions and embed the appropriate screenshots  of your Ubuntu server installation. When providing a detailed overview  of the steps required to install the Ubuntu server operating system on  the virtual machine, make sure to include screenshots of each step in  the process. Further details and instructions are included within the  Week 1 Assignment Template.
