You're absolutely right, neither networking configuration nor building
containers is mentioned in the objectives. I would just be careful of
mentioning Docker and LXC in the same list, as their approaches are a
little different (application container vs. system container).

The idea behind this objective is to be able to apply the LPIC-1 knowledge
not just on a regular PC, but also on a VM or even to debug a container. It
is not about configuring up the hypervisor, it is about using Linux inside
a VM and understanding what a VM / a container is, where their
installations come from (knowing there is an image, knowing where it comes
from, but not practically building it from scratch). There are also some
common specialties of most IaaS clouds, mostly related to images, too. In
fact, getting a Linux VM in the cloud requires almost no networking
knowledge, but the candidate should know enough about it to use his LPIC-1
skills in that instance.

I hope this helps :)

Fabian
