Question

Difficulty: MediumPlatform as a Service (PaaS)

An organization deploys a machine learning API to Azure App Service, which is a Platform as a Service (PaaS) offering. Under the Azure shared responsibility model, the organization is responsible for applying security updates and patches to the operating system hosting the API.

Answer: Answer

Answer

False
Under the Azure shared responsibility model for Platform as a Service (PaaS) offerings like Azure App Service, the cloud provider (Microsoft) is responsible for operating system management, including installing updates and security patches. The customer is only responsible for the application code, data, and configurations.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Identify the cloud service model of the deployed service (Azure App Service).
Azure App Service is a Platform as a Service (PaaS) offering.
Different service models (IaaS, PaaS, SaaS) have different shared responsibility boundaries.
2
Analyze the responsibility for operating system patching in the PaaS model.
The cloud provider (Microsoft) is responsible for OS maintenance, updates, and security patching in PaaS.
PaaS abstracts the underlying operating system and infrastructure from the customer to reduce management overhead.
3
Evaluate the statement against the identified responsibility.
The statement incorrectly claims the customer is responsible for patching the OS under PaaS, making the statement false.
Since the provider handles OS patching, the statement is false.
