Introduction: The IBM Cloud Fundamentals course focuses on leveraging AWK programming skills to process and manipulate data across various cloud environments and big data scenarios.
Understand and apply AWK string functions to manage textual data effectively within the IBM Cloud.
Utilize AWK built-in functions like length, tolower, and toupper to transform and analyze strings.
Employ AWK functions such as index, sub, gsub, and match for pattern searching and substitution in data processing.
Extract specific data segments using AWK's substr function for targeted analysis.
Demonstrate the ability to split data into arrays with AWK for structured data manipulation.
Create complex formatted outputs using AWK's sprintf function, enhancing data readability.
Integrate external system commands within AWK scripts using the system function for extended functionalities.
Read from and write to files or pipelines with AWK's getline function for streamlined data flows.
Develop AWK scripts to automate data extraction and formatting tasks, increasing efficiency in cloud operations.
Apply AWK programming skills to real-world exercises, reinforcing concepts and techniques for application design and big data solutions in IBM Cloud environments.

The objectives and outcomes have been formulated based on the provided context, which is unusually specific to AWK scripting.)
Prerequisite
To ensure the success of our learners in the IBM Cloud Fundamentals course, we have identified a set of minimum prerequisites that will help equip you with the foundational knowledge necessary to grasp the course content effectively. These prerequisites are designed to set a baseline for your learning journey without being discouraging. Here's what you should be familiar with before starting the course:
Basic understanding of cloud computing concepts, including what cloud computing is and the various service models (IaaS, PaaS, SaaS).
Familiarity with fundamental IT concepts such as servers, networking, and storage.
Basic command-line interface (CLI) skills, as you will be running scripts and commands.
Knowledge of general programming or scripting concepts. While expertise in a specific programming language is not required, understanding how scripts function will be beneficial.
An interest in learning how to use IBM Cloud services for developing, deploying, and managing applications.
Please note that while prior experience in AWK or specific IBM Cloud services is not a mandatory prerequisite, any previous exposure to scripting, data manipulation, or cloud platforms will enhance your learning experience and allow you to better engage with the course material.
