Zorluk: Çok zorSoftware as a Service (SaaS)

An organization is transitioning its legacy enterprise resource planning (ERP) system to a cloud-based Software as a Service (SaaS) solution. The IT department will integrate the organization's on-premises Active Directory with the SaaS provider's authentication portal to enable single sign-on (SSO) for employees accessing the application. According to the Microsoft shared responsibility model, which of the following areas represents a shared responsibility between the organization and the SaaS provider in this scenario?

  1. Identity and directory infrastructureCevap
  2. B
    Accounts and identities
  3. C
    Information and data
  4. D
    Application configuration and core code patching

Cevap

Identity and directory infrastructure
Under the Microsoft shared responsibility model, the 'identity and directory infrastructure' represents a shared responsibility. The customer manages their own users, groups, and integration protocols (like Active Directory federation), whereas the SaaS provider maintains the directory infrastructure hosting, scalability, and physical directory services.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Analyze the cloud service model presented in the scenario.
The model is Software as a Service (SaaS). Under SaaS, the provider manages almost all layers of the stack, including physical hosts, network, operating systems, and application code.
Determining the cloud service type dictates the baseline responsibility allocation under the Microsoft shared responsibility model.
2
Evaluate the customer's sole responsibilities in a SaaS model.
The customer is solely responsible for information and data, devices (mobile and PC), and accounts and identities.
This rules out options that represent sole customer ownership, such as accounts/identities and data.
3
Evaluate the provider's sole responsibilities in a SaaS model.
The provider is solely responsible for physical hosts, physical network, physical datacenter, operating systems, and the application code.
This rules out options that represent sole provider ownership, such as application patching.
4
Identify the shared responsibility area for SaaS.
Identity and directory infrastructure is a shared responsibility across SaaS, PaaS, and IaaS models.
The customer is responsible for identity configuration and policies, while the cloud provider maintains the directory infrastructure itself.
