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

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

included within the Week 1 Assignment Template.
