Week 8 – Exam One

This week in class we had our first exam of the course. On Monday, professor Fusco held a review session where he went through the review powerpoint as well as answer anymore in depth, hands-on questions the class was asking. The review session I found very helpful and made me slightly more comfortable with the overall difficult material. On Wednesday, we took the exam and I did not feel too good about it when I walked out of class that day. Friday was an optional class session where professor Fusco did a Docker lab with us for extra credit.

To review for the exam I went through this article going over the OSI model in more depth:

Week 7 – THON/Snow-Day

Week seven was a very short week due to the cancellation of Monday’s class by Professor Fusco as well as the universities cancellation of classes of Wednesday due to a winter storm. In class Friday however, we started a lab in AWS that involved using Docker. Docker involved a new form of virtualization called containerization, I have never worked with AWS prior to this class so all of these concepts were new to me. During the lab we built a LAMP stack onto a previous lab we did in class that was very complicated and had numerous steps. Just to expand my knowledge of Docker a little bit I read this article that I will post the link of to below.
