Throughout the remainder of the handbook, we will discuss and explain two cases: 1) GPT partition table and UEFI boot, and 2) MBR partition table and legacy BIOS boot. While it is possible to mix and match, that goes beyond the scope of this manual. As already stated above, installations on modern hardware should use GPT partition table and UEFI boot; as an exception from this rule, MBR and BIOS boot is still frequently used in virtualized (cloud) environments.
