Question 7

A company runs its customer relationship management (CRM) system using a cloud provider's SaaS offering. They also use virtual machines (IaaS) from the same provider to host a legacy application. In this scenario, who is responsible for patching the operating system of the virtual machines?

Accepted Answer

The customer is responsible for patching the operating system of the virtual machines.. In an IaaS model, the cloud provider is responsible for the security of the physical infrastructure, hypervisor, and network, but the customer retains responsibility for the guest operating system and applications. Since the virtual machines are IaaS resources, the customer must manage OS patches, updates, and configuration. This follows the shared responsibility model, where the customer is accountable for anything they configure or deploy within the virtual machine.

Answer

The cloud provider is fully responsible for patching all components.

Answer

The cloud provider patches the OS for all services equally.

Answer

No patching is needed because the cloud handles everything.

Question 10

A growing company with 120 users currently holds Microsoft 365 Business Basic licenses. They need to add endpoint management (Microsoft Intune) and advanced threat protection (Microsoft Defender for Office 365 Plan 1). They also want to keep their existing Business Basic subscriptions. What is the most cost-effective way to add these capabilities?

Accepted Answer

Purchase add-on subscriptions for Microsoft Intune Plan 1 and Microsoft Defender for Office 365 Plan 1.

Upgrade all users to Microsoft 365 Business Premium

Answer

Add Microsoft 365 Business Premium licenses as a standalone for all users

Answer

Switch to Microsoft 365 E3 and drop Business Basic
