Exam AZ900 Topics: architecture Difficulty: hard

A manufacturer is moving a simulation application to Azure. The application is certified for a specific Linux distribution, and its installation procedure requires the team to tune kernel parameters, install a custom device driver, and sign in to the server's operating system directly to troubleshoot. The team is deciding between virtual machines and containers. Which option should they choose, and why?

  3. C. Containers, because an application certified for a specific Linux distribution runs unchanged inside any container image
  4. D. Virtual machines, because Linux-based workloads cannot be packaged as container images in Azure
