Speaking 100% from Enterprise environments, I expect even a junior sysadmin to be able to identify what 'environment' a Linux instance is running inside of. But that's just me.
If a certification program decides to test that, or not, is up to the program. But I think it's just simple Knowledge/Remember-level Blooms. - bjs DISCLAIMER: This is merely a 'peer' opinion, and I do not speak on behalf of any entities.
