CCSP Exam - Question 284


With IaaS, what is responsible for handling the security and control over the volume storage space?

Show Answer
Correct Answer: B

In an Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) environment, the virtual machines provided are equipped with operating systems that the users manage. The operating system is responsible for handling security, formatting, and access control over the volume storage space allocated to it. The hypervisor and management plane facilitate resource allocation and management at a higher level but do not directly manage the security or access of the stored data within the virtual machines. Applications can utilize the storage but are not responsible for its security or management.

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”.

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.
