az-900 Practice Question 1860
Exam: az-900
Domain: Describe cloud concepts
Topic: Describe cloud service types
Difficulty: medium
A company is evaluating its cloud service options and wants to ensure that the security and compliance responsibilities are managed by the cloud provider rather than the company itself. Which cloud service type best fits this requirement, and how does it relate to the Shared Responsibility Model?
Answer Options
A
Unmanaged service - requiring full management by the company
B
Managed service - aligning with the Shared Responsibility Model
C
Hybrid - a mix of managed and unmanaged services
D
On-premises - not related to the cloud
Correct Answer
B: Managed service - aligning with the Shared Responsibility Model
Explanation
The correct answer is B. In this scenario, the company should choose a managed service, which aligns with the Shared Responsibility Model where the cloud provider manages certain aspects of security and compliance. Option A (Unmanaged service) would require the company to manage all aspects of security and compliance, which contradicts the requirement. Option C (Hybrid) involves a mix of managed and unmanaged services, so it doesn't fully meet the requirement for managed security and compliance. Option D (On-premises) is not related to the cloud at all and thus doesn't fit the scenario.
