Zorluk: ZorCloud Service Models (IaaS, PaaS, SaaS)

A network administrator is defining organizational responsibilities across various enterprise cloud deployments. Match each operational scenario on the left with the corresponding cloud service responsibility tier on the right.

  • Configuring OS network security groups, applying OS security patches, and managing installed web server middleware on cloud virtual instancesCustomer responsibility in Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS)
  • Deploying application source code into a managed runtime framework while relying on the vendor to maintain the underlying OS, web server binaries, and database engineCustomer responsibility in Platform as a Service (PaaS)
  • Managing end-user accounts, multi-factor authentication rules, and data access policies for an enterprise cloud productivity suiteCustomer responsibility in Software as a Service (SaaS)
  • Replacing physical RAID controllers, maintaining host hypervisor updates, and managing physical facility securityCloud Provider responsibility across all cloud service models

Cevap

The operational tasks match their respective cloud service model responsibilities as follows: Managing guest OS patches and middleware corresponds to customer responsibilities under Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS); deploying code to a managed runtime framework corresponds to customer responsibilities under Platform as a Service (PaaS); managing user access policies for hosted applications corresponds to customer responsibilities under Software as a Service (SaaS); and maintaining host hypervisors and physical hardware is the cloud provider's core responsibility across all service models.
Each cloud service model defines a distinct boundary of operational ownership between the customer and provider under the shared responsibility model. In Infrastructure as a Service, customers control the operating system, middleware, and applications. In Platform as a Service, customers control application code and data while the vendor manages the operating system and underlying runtime framework. In Software as a Service, the vendor manages the complete software stack, leaving data governance and account access configuration to the customer. Physical infrastructure hardware and hypervisor health remain provider responsibilities across all cloud service models.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Analyze the operational scope for guest operating system patching and virtual firewall configurations.
Identified as customer responsibilities under Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), where the customer maintains virtual machines from the operating system upward.
IaaS provides raw compute primitives, requiring the cloud tenant to maintain the OS and middleware.
2
Evaluate the management boundary where developers only supply code while the vendor manages the OS, database engine, and runtime environment.
Identified as customer responsibilities under Platform as a Service (PaaS).
PaaS abstracts operating systems and infrastructure software to streamline application development and deployment.
3
Determine the service tier where application functionality is completely hosted and the customer manages only access credentials and stored data.
Identified as customer responsibilities under Software as a Service (SaaS).
SaaS abstracts all infrastructure and application software stacks, leaving identity governance and data management to the consumer.
4
Examine physical server hardware maintenance, facilities management, and physical hypervisor maintenance.
Identified as the Cloud Provider's responsibility across all cloud service models.
Physical infrastructure security and host hypervisor maintenance are foundational duties handled exclusively by cloud providers.
