Sample Questions

Question 1

In the shared responsibility model, the phrase "security OF the cloud" refers to which party's obligations?

A. The cloud provider securing the underlying infrastructure
B. The customer securing their workloads
C. A third-party auditor verifying controls
D. The end users of the application

✓ Correct Answer: A

"Security OF the cloud" is the provider's duty to protect the hardware, software, networking, and facilities that run cloud services. The customer's side is "security IN the cloud," so option B is the inverse. Auditors and end users have no defined column in the model, making C and D incorrect.

Question 2

Under an Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) model, who is typically responsible for patching the guest operating system?

A. The cloud provider as part of platform upkeep
B. The customer who manages the virtual machine
C. A managed service partner by default
D. The hypervisor vendor directly

✓ Correct Answer: B

With IaaS the customer provisions and controls the virtual machine, so guest OS patching falls to them. The provider patches the hypervisor and physical hosts, not the guest, so A is wrong. C assumes a partner that may not exist, and D confuses the hypervisor layer with the guest layer.
