Which tasks require more planning in an air-gapped deployment?

In an air-gapped deployment, the primary concern is that the environment is isolated from external networks and the internet. Therefore, tasks that involve interaction with external resources or services require careful planning.

The correct answer focuses on "Maps," "Licensing," and "External Data," which are all areas that demand extra consideration in an air-gapped setting.

For maps, the challenge arises because many mapping features rely on external services to fetch geographic data and tile resources. When operating in an air-gapped environment, it’s necessary to pre-download and import the relevant map files or datasets since direct access to map servers isn't possible.

Licensing involves the need for careful management and activation processes that may require connectivity to the vendor's servers during installation or activation. In an air-gapped setting, alternative licensing strategies or processes must be planned in advance.

"External Data" is inherently problematic because air-gapped systems cannot easily fetch or communicate with outside databases or APIs. Therefore, meticulous planning is required to ensure that all necessary external data is brought into the system before deployment.

In contrast, the other combinations either emphasize tasks that do not depend significantly on external access or involve activities that can generally be executed independently of an air-gapped deployment. For example, user
