Microsoft Security, Compliance, and Identity Fundamentals SC-900 Practice Question
In the context of Azure's shared responsibility model for an Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) workload, which task is handled exclusively by the customer rather than Microsoft?
Ensuring redundant power supplies remain operational in Azure facilities
Patching the host operating system that runs the Azure fabric
Installing security updates in the guest operating system running on a virtual machine
Managing physical access controls at Azure data centers
For IaaS resources such as Azure virtual machines, Microsoft secures the physical datacenter, networking, host infrastructure, and hypervisor. The customer, however, is responsible for anything inside the guest VM, including applying security updates to the guest operating system. Tasks such as patching the host OS, controlling physical access to datacenters, or maintaining power and cooling fall under Microsoft's responsibilities, not the customer's.
