Expected Behaviors

✎
LEVEL 1

Fundamental Awareness

At the fundamental awareness level, individuals are expected to have a basic understanding of Oracle Solaris OS architecture, navigate the command line interface, identify key features, and recognize common file types and directory structures. They can perform simple tasks under guidance but require supervision for more complex operations.

🌱
LEVEL 2

Novice

Novices can execute basic file and directory operations, manage user accounts and permissions, use basic shell scripting, monitor system performance, and install software packages. They can perform routine tasks independently but need help with troubleshooting and advanced configurations.

🌍
LEVEL 3

Intermediate

Intermediate users can configure network settings, implement basic security measures, automate tasks with advanced shell scripting, manage storage devices, troubleshoot common issues, and set up zones. They work independently on most tasks and can handle moderate complexity without supervision.

⭐
LEVEL 4

Advanced

Advanced users optimize system performance, implement advanced security configurations, manage complex networking features, perform advanced storage management, develop custom applications, and integrate Oracle Solaris OS with other systems. They handle high-complexity tasks and provide guidance to less experienced users.

🏆
LEVEL 5

Expert

Experts design and implement high-availability solutions, conduct system audits, lead large-scale migrations, develop enterprise-wide policies, mentor other professionals, and contribute to the Oracle Solaris OS community. They are recognized as authorities in their field and drive strategic initiatives.
