Really? Just the hardware? Seems too simple.

I feel like the physical hardware management is definitely Microsoft's job, but I could be mixing it up with another topic we covered.

I practiced a question similar to this, and I believe it was about user account management being the user's responsibility, not Microsoft's.

I think Microsoft is responsible for the management of the physical hardware, right? That sounds familiar from our study materials.

Hmm, I'm going to have to go with D on this one. Microsoft's got to be in charge of the physical servers and hardware, otherwise how would they keep the cloud running?

Oh, this is a tough one. I'm going to go with B. The permissions for user data stored in Azure must be Microsoft's responsibility, since they're the ones hosting the data.

I'm pretty sure the answer is D. Microsoft is responsible for managing the physical hardware in the Azure deployment. That's just common sense, right?
