A company is migrating its on-premises virtual machines to Azure using the Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) model. According to the shared responsibility model, which security aspect remains the primary responsibility of the company?
Explanations
Managing the virtualization layer (hypervisor).
Managing the virtualization layer (hypervisor).
The virtualization layer, or hypervisor, is a core component of the cloud infrastructure that Microsoft manages. In the IaaS model, Microsoft's responsibility extends up to and includes this layer, ensuring its security and proper functioning.
Maintaining the network infrastructure (e.g., routers, switches).
Maintaining the network infrastructure (e.g., routers, switches).
Microsoft is responsible for the security and maintenance of the underlying network infrastructure, such as routers and switches, that support the Azure platform. This is part of the 'security of the cloud' that the provider manages.
Physical security of the datacenter facilities.
Physical security of the datacenter facilities.
The physical security of the datacenter facilities, including the buildings, hardware, and underlying infrastructure, is always the responsibility of the cloud provider (Microsoft) in any cloud service model. Customers do not manage the physical aspects of the cloud infrastructure.
Securing the guest operating system and application data.
Securing the guest operating system and application data.
In the Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) model, the customer is responsible for everything above the virtualization layer. This includes maintaining and securing the guest operating system (e.g., patching, configuration) and protecting their own application data within that operating system. The customer is always responsible for their customer data, regardless of the cloud service model.
