Difficulty: MediumPlatform as a Service (PaaS)

A financial technology company deploys a transaction-processing API using Azure Platform as a Service (PaaS). Under the shared responsibility model for PaaS, the cloud provider is responsible for operating system patching, while the customer remains responsible for application code and database access configuration. Is this statement true or false?

Answer: Answer

Answer

True
The statement is true because the Platform as a Service (PaaS) model divides responsibilities such that the cloud provider manages the physical infrastructure, virtualization, and the operating system (including patching), while the customer is responsible for application-level components and data management.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Identify the cloud service model used in the scenario.
The scenario describes a transaction-processing API deployed using Azure Platform as a Service (PaaS).
Identifying the cloud service model establishes the correct boundaries of the shared responsibility model.
2
Evaluate the management responsibilities described in the statement against the identified PaaS model.
Operating system patching is managed by the cloud provider in PaaS, while application code and database access configuration are managed by the customer.
PaaS offloads OS and infrastructure management to the cloud provider, leaving the customer in control of the applications and data.
