Difficulty: EasyPlatform as a Service (PaaS)

A company plans to deploy a new web API to Azure using Platform as a Service (PaaS) to reduce administrative overhead.

Which two of the following responsibilities are managed by the cloud provider (Microsoft) in this PaaS model? (Select two.)

  1. Patching and updating the operating system hosting the web APIAnswer
  2. Maintaining the physical servers, storage, and virtualization infrastructureAnswer
  3. C
    Writing the application code and configuring the API endpoints
  4. D
    Managing licenses and user permissions for SaaS tools like Microsoft 365

Answer

The cloud provider manages the patching and updating of the operating system hosting the web API, as well as the maintenance of physical servers, storage, and virtualization infrastructure.
Under the Platform as a Service (PaaS) model, the cloud provider manages the underlying infrastructure, virtualization, and the operating system (including patching and updates). This allows the customer to focus on deploying application code and managing data without worrying about host-level maintenance.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Identify the cloud deployment model described in the scenario.
The scenario specifies a Platform as a Service (PaaS) model.
Understanding the specific cloud service model determines how responsibilities are shared between the customer and Microsoft.
2
Differentiate between customer and provider responsibilities under the PaaS shared responsibility model.
The cloud provider manages operating systems, physical hardware, and virtualization. The customer remains responsible for application code, data, and access configurations.
This division of labor allows the company to minimize administrative overhead by offloading OS patching and infrastructure maintenance to Microsoft.
