Cloud Service Models Quiz

Cloud Security Responsibility

• In the cloud, security responsibility is shared between the cloud provider and the customer.
• The Shared Responsibility Model is commonly used to break down the cloud security responsibility.

Fortinet Cloud Security

• The Fortinet Security Fabric enables end-to-end security in the cloud.
• The Fortinet cloud security solution provides advanced security features beyond native cloud vendor security options.

Azure Management and Availability

• Management options available for Azure services include Azure CLI, Azure PowerShell, and Azure portal.
• The availability of Azure regions provides geographic redundancy and latency reduction.
• Region pairs in Azure help reduce the risk of natural disasters and outages.
• Azure Availability Zones protect against datacenter-level failures and outages.
• There are 3 separate zones in all enabled regions for Azure Availability Zones.
• Some Azure services, such as Azure Active Directory, do not require a specific region.

Cloud Service Models

• Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) allows customers to create, manage, and customize virtual machines.
• Container as a Service (CaaS) allows development teams to host and deploy containerized software packages without managing container engines and orchestration.
• Platform as a Service (PaaS) is responsible for programming applications and the data, while the vendor manages the rest of the services.
• Function as a Service (FaaS) allows developers to upload their code and execute it without managing any of the underlying infrastructure.
• Software as a Service (SaaS) is used by customers as a consumer for running applications.
• Security as a Service (SaaS) provides cybersecurity services on solutions hosted by the providers.
• IaaS allows customers to select the operating system of their choice and manage its settings.
• PaaS allows customers to deploy a web application or a database.
• FaaS is also known as serverless.
• Security as a Service (SaaS) provides cybersecurity services on a subscription basis.

Azure Availability Zones and Sets

• Azure availability zones are isolated locations within an Azure region, designed to provide redundancy and fault tolerance.
• The purpose of Azure availability sets is to ensure that VMs are deployed across multiple fault domains and update domains.
• There are 3 separate availability zones in all enabled regions.
• Fault domains in an availability set help reduce the risk of hardware failures.
• Update domains in an availability set help reduce the risk of simultaneous updates.
• Azure Marketplace is a digital marketplace where customers can find, buy, and deploy software applications and services.
• On Azure Marketplace, customers can find software applications, services, and developer tools.
• There is no additional cost for using Azure availability sets.
• Azure Availability Sets protect VMs from hardware failures and planned maintenance.
• Microsoft Azure provides an SLA of 99.95% uptime when you create two or more VMs within an availability set.
