What an assessment for ICTSAD613 must cover

46 assessable components: 4 elements (24 performance criteria), 5 performance evidence and 11 knowledge evidence requirements, plus 6 foundation skills. An audit-defensible tool maps every question and task back to these — that mapping is the coverage matrix Auditori generates alongside the assessment.

Elements & performance criteria

1 Establish and set up container orchestration services (COS)

1.1Assess business specifications, application and business needs for container orchestration services (COS) with required personnel
1.2Obtain and review infrastructure requirements and technical specifications for using container technologies according to business needs
1.3Research and select suitable vendor (COS) software according to business needs
1.4Install COS on host computer or virtual machine
1.5Add host computers/virtual machines/nodes using COS
1.6Select and promote node to manage and host all nodes
1.7Set up and confirm group of nodes run as required

2 Configure containers

2.1Add different types of images/containers to the service
2.2Name and move containers as required
2.3Create pod/swarm and run container in pod
2.4Configure scaling policy according to business need
2.5Use instrumentation to configure scaling in and out according to business needs
2.6Test and confirm container set up, function of containers and required resources
2.7Finalise and create user documentation according to business needs

3 Test and maintain container service

3.1Configure load tester to port
3.2Register containers to central point
3.3Use load balancer to retrieve container requests
3.4Test requests and ensure load testing works as required

4 Manage containers according to business need

4.1Experiment with different volumes of traffic to sites
4.2Monitor and record metrics
4.3Add and delete containers as required according to CPU, RAM, network traffic readings and business need
4.4Set up container trigger alarms according to metrics and business needs
4.5Create user documentation according to business need
4.6Report metrics and business impact with required personnel

Performance evidence

configure container orchestration services on at least two host computers or virtual machines
create and manage at least two containers using at least three different metrics to measure requests and traffic data.
In the course of the above, the candidate must:
confirm clusters scale out and in required by demand changes and business needs
document work.

Knowledge evidence

features and functions of operating systems
continuous integration and continuous delivery/deployment methodology, processes and principles
network protocols including: network communications protocol, TCP/IP (transmission control), internet protocol
tools and features of registries, command line interface and text editor
software development life cycle (SDLC)
basic principles of container orchestration services: pods/swarms, nodes, services, virtual machines and containers, container dependencies
basic principles of: computer hardware, networking, operating system, database management systems, cloud solutions and components, applications, database-management systems, open-source development tools, HTTP
organisational business needs relating to the use and deployment of containers, including cost constraints
data flow charts applicable to installing and configuring container orchestration services
data and metrics of user traffic to sites and applications, including: RAM (random access memory), CPU, Network traffic
different methods of monitoring services, including: manually, different organisational levels of responsibility relating to application functions.

Foundation skills

Reading: Critically analyses documentation, instructions and data from a variety of sources and records, and consolidates information, in order to determine requirements and steps forwards Identifies and interprets technical material to determine and confirm job, business and systems requirements
Writing: Demonstrates sophisticated writing skills using specialised language, technical language and scripts and required conventions to create workplace documents
Planning and organising: Researches, plans and sequences complex tasks, efficiently and effectively
Problem solving: Applies systematic and analytical decision- making processes for complex and non-routine situations and bug code Uses nuanced understanding of context to recognise anomalies and subtle deviations to normal expectations, focusing attention and remedying problems as they arise in containers as well as in projects and wider systems
Self-management: Monitors progress of plans and schedules, and reviews and changes them, to meet new demands and priorities Investigates new and innovative ideas, as a means by which to continuously improve, work practices and processes through consultation, formal and analytical thinking
Technology: Uses complex scripts and tools required within complex systems, applications, operation systems, the internet and required software and hardware components Uses cyber security procedures and techniques to maintain data security, and systems and application integrity

Questions about assessing ICTSAD613

What does an assessment tool for ICTSAD613 need to cover?

To satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence, an assessment for ICTSAD613 needs to address all 46 unit components: 4 elements with 24 performance criteria, 5 performance evidence requirements, 11 knowledge evidence requirements, and the foundation skills. A coverage matrix mapping each question and task to these components is what an auditor looks for.

How does Auditori generate an assessment tool for ICTSAD613?

Auditori pulls the current release of ICTSAD613 from training.gov.au and generates a complete package: candidate assessment, assessor guide with model answers and observation criteria, and a coverage matrix mapping every component. A suitably qualified person then reviews and approves the draft in a built-in workflow — consistent with ASQA's guidance on AI use in VET — before export as branded PDF and editable Word.

Is the first assessment tool really free?

Yes. Every new account includes one free credit — enough to generate the complete assessment tool for ICTSAD613 — with no card and no subscription required. After that it's pay-as-you-go per unit.

Can I check my existing ICTSAD613 assessment instead of generating a new one?

Yes — upload your existing assessment or learner guide and Auditori maps it against every element, performance criterion, PE and KE of ICTSAD613, showing exactly what's covered and what's missing. Mapping costs a quarter of a credit.
