A company is migrating its on-premises servers to a public cloud provider. They have a mix of workloads: a legacy application that requires a specific kernel module not available in the cloud provider's default images, and a modern containerized application. They want to minimize operational overhead. Which approach is MOST appropriate?

Run both workloads on a single VM with a custom kernel to simplify management.

Use the cloud provider's default Linux images for all workloads and install the kernel module manually on the legacy VM.

Build a custom Linux image with the required kernel module and use it for the legacy VM, and use a managed container service for the modern application.

Use a Windows Server VM for the legacy application and a Linux VM for the modern application.

A company is developing a custom Android-based point-of-sale (POS) terminal. They want to ensure they can modify the operating system to meet specific hardware requirements. Which aspect of Android's architecture is MOST relevant to this goal?

Android's user-space libraries are all licensed under the GPL, requiring them to release all their modifications.

Android is a closed-source operating system, so they cannot modify it.

Android's use of the Linux kernel, which is licensed under the GPL, allows them to modify and redistribute the kernel.

Android's application framework is licensed under the GPL, requiring them to release their POS application.

A company is evaluating whether to use open-source software in a commercial product. They are concerned about the requirement to share their modifications. Which license would require them to release the source code of their modifications if they distribute the product?

GNU General Public License (GPL)
