Exam CCSP topic 1 question 284 discussion

In an Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) model, the customer is responsible for managing the virtual machines (VMs), including their operating systems. The OS handles security and control over volume storage space, including file system permissions, encryption, and access control. Why Not the Others? A. Management plane: This is used by the cloud provider to orchestrate and manage infrastructure but does not directly control storage at the OS level. C. Application: Applications interact with the storage but do not manage its security or control; that responsibility falls on the OS. D. Hypervisor: The hypervisor manages virtualization and VM allocation but does not handle security within the guest OS itself.

A. Management plane. In an IaaS (Infrastructure as a Service) setup, the management plane is typically responsible for handling the security and control over the volume storage space.

In an IaaS environment, the individual system runs on top of the hypervisor. The Management plane and the hypervisor are external to the system (e.g., the operating system) and responsible for the security and control of the volume storage space. Hence, the correct answer is “B”.

D: Hypervisor

B. Operating system
