CIT384 Final Exam/Lab

There is three parts to this assignement. The first part is in the same format as Quiz #1. The quiz provides you with the ability to submit an essay to improve your grade. The second part requires you to create a Dockerfile that performs a number of tasks. If you complete, to a satisfactory level, these two parts your final grade could be a C+. (This does not include the exta points you will received on the essay component if you so choose to do this component.

The third part is provided to allow you to further demostrate you knowledge in SSL and load balancing. We did not talk about load balancing in class. Hence, this part requires you to some research to get it done. Something you will need to be able to do in your professional careers, if you want to be successful.
