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.
