Difficulty: EasyAzure Virtual Machines and Azure Virtual Desktop

A company plans to deploy an application on a newly created Azure Virtual Machine. Is the statement 'Microsoft automatically applies operating system updates and security patches to the guest operating system of the virtual machine' true or false?

Answer: Answer

Answer

False
The correct answer is False because under the Azure shared responsibility model, Virtual Machines are an Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) offering, which means the customer is responsible for managing, updating, and patching the guest operating system.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Identify the service category of Azure Virtual Machines.
Azure Virtual Machines fall under Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS).
Understanding the service category is necessary to apply the correct shared responsibility model boundaries.
2
Determine the division of responsibilities for operating system updates in IaaS.
In IaaS, the customer is responsible for managing, configuring, and updating the guest operating system, while Microsoft manages the physical infrastructure and virtualization layer.
Evaluating who patches the guest OS determines the truth value of the statement.
