ITACS 5122: Enterprise Architecture for IT Auditors

MIS 5122 - Section -702

Why all the Operating Systems?

September 15, 2017 by Patrick J. Wasson Leave a Comment

Why do you all think I am asking you to install multiple virtual machines with different operating systems using 2 different types of virtual machines hosting technology?  Doesn’t it seem like a lot of work to have to download iso/dvd/exe files from the web and install them when we could just use MS Azure and host them in the cloud?

Why don’t I just ask you to sign up for azure and install one instance of windows server and do the OS lab? Why Linux, Windows Server 2012 and Windows 2008 both local and cloud based?

Do you think configuring 3 different types of operating systems will ever help you become better IT Auditors?  Feel free to agree or disagree!
