Difficulty: EasyPlatform as a Service (PaaS)

A university IT department plans to deploy a new student registration portal using Azure App Service, which is a Platform as a Service (PaaS) offering. Which two statements describe the responsibilities under this PaaS deployment model?

  1. The cloud provider is responsible for maintaining the virtualized hardware and patching the operating system.Answer
  2. The university is responsible for deploying and configuring the application code.Answer
  3. C
    The university is responsible for applying security updates to the hosting operating system.
  4. D
    The cloud provider is responsible for configuring user accounts and database access permissions.

Answer

The cloud provider is responsible for maintaining the virtualized hardware and patching the operating system, and the university is responsible for deploying and configuring the application code.
In a PaaS deployment like Azure App Service, the cloud provider takes care of the physical hardware, network, virtualization layer, and operating system patching. The customer is solely responsible for developing, deploying, and configuring their application code.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Identify the cloud service model referenced in the scenario.
The scenario specifies Azure App Service, which is a Platform as a Service (PaaS) offering.
Understanding the service model determines the boundary of responsibilities between the customer and the cloud provider.
2
Determine infrastructure responsibilities under PaaS.
The cloud provider manages the physical server hardware, virtualization layer, and operating system updates/patching.
PaaS minimizes the customer's administrative overhead by offloading operating system and hardware management to the provider.
3
Determine application and data responsibilities under PaaS.
The customer (the university) remains responsible for deploying their application code and configuring application-level settings, while also managing data and user access.
Under the shared responsibility model, the customer always controls their application and who has access to it.

Key Concept

Under Platform as a Service (PaaS), the cloud provider manages the physical infrastructure, virtualization, and operating system patching, while the customer is responsible for the application code, configuration, and data access.
