Kubernetes and Containers Only the major Underpinning Theory is formulated as higher-level UOs of Revised Bloom’s taxonomy in order development of the COs and competency is not missed out by the students and teachers. If required, more such higher-level UOs could be included by the course teacher to focus on the attainment of COs and competency. Note: The UOs need to be formulated at the ‘Application Level’ and above of Revised Bloom’s Taxonomy’ to accelerate the attainment of the COs and the competency.
