    Deploying operating system security patches to the servers hosting the application
  3. C
    Managing the database engine configuration and provisioning underlying database storage
  4. D

Cevap

Configuring user access permissions and protecting the data stored within the platform
Under the Software as a Service (SaaS) model, the cloud provider manages the entire application stack, including the underlying infrastructure, operating systems, and database engines. The customer is only responsible for configuring user accounts, managing access control, and ensuring the security of their own data within the application.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Identify the cloud service model described in the scenario.
The application is fully managed, hosted, and updated by the provider and accessed via a web browser, which represents a Software as a Service (SaaS) model.
Understanding the service model determines the shared responsibility boundaries between the customer and the provider.
2
Analyze the responsibility division for the SaaS model.
In a SaaS model, the provider manages the physical hosts, network, operating system, database engine, and application code, while the customer retains responsibility for identity and access management, client devices, and data protection.
This division allows us to identify which of the options represents a customer task rather than a provider task.
3
Evaluate the options against the customer responsibility boundary.
Only managing user access and data protection is a customer responsibility; all other listed options are managed by the provider or represent on-premises characteristics.
Selecting the correct task aligns with the SaaS shared responsibility model.
