 Assessment: Problem Statement-1
Date:
Configure a VM instance in your local machine and in cloud (by
creating a cloud account). Allocate CPU, memory and storage space as
per a specified requirement. Install Guest OS image in that instance,
launch the same and confirm the successful installation of the OS by
performing few OS commands.
a) updating the packages in OS
b) create a new directory
c) changing the name of the directory
d) show the current working directory
e) list of previously executed commands
f) create a new file with your registration number. Type information
such as Registration number, name, Department, email id, Mobile
number and view the content files

1) VM Configuration: Ensure allocated resources match specified

requirements; verify successful VM instance creation on both local machine
and cloud platform.

2) OS Installation: Confirm proper installation of the Guest OS on both local

and cloud-based virtual machines.

3) Command Execution: Execute OS commands successfully, noting any

errors or unexpected behavior during the process.
Observations
4) Directory Operations: Validate the creation, renaming, and navigation of
directories within the OS environment.

5) Command History: Verify the 'history' command displays a list of

previously executed commands, ensuring accurate tracking.

6) File Creation and Viewing: Confirm the creation of the registration_info.txt

file with accurate content and successful viewing of its details

 Assessment: Problem Statement-2
Date:
To develop a cloud-based employee management system that utilizes
dynamic memory allocation for storing employee information. Design
a program that includes menu-driven functionalities for the following
operations:
•Allow the user to input the number of employees to allocate memory
for and dynamically allocate memory accordingly. Display the
addresses of the allocated memory.

•Allow the user to input the number of employees to free memory for.
Perform memory deallocation accordingly and display the available
memory addresses.

•Display the memory addresses of the currently allocated employee

memory.

•Exit: Exit the program.
