A startup deploys its web application on Google App Engine, a fully managed Platform as a Service (PaaS). Under the shared responsibility model, which activity is still the customer's responsibility?
Applying security patches to the operating system that hosts the application
Replacing failed physical servers in Google data centers
Configuring IAM roles that determine who can read or modify application data
Managing inter-region network routing on Google's backbone
With a PaaS such as Google App Engine, Google manages the underlying infrastructure, operating system, runtime, and network. The customer remains responsible for what runs on top of the platform-such as their application code, the data it stores, and who can access that data. Therefore, configuring Identity and Access Management (IAM) policies to control access to the application and its data is the customer's duty. Google, not the customer, handles operating-system patching, physical server maintenance, and backbone network routing.
