Your company has an on-premises network that contains multiple servers.
The company plans to reduce the following administrative responsibilities:
-> Backing up application data
-> Replacing failed server hardware
-> Managing physical server security
-> Updating server operating systems
-> Managing permissions to shared documents
The company plans to migrate servers to Azure virtual machines.
You need to identify which administrative responsibilities will be eliminated after the planned migration.
Which two responsibilities should you identify? Each correct answer presents a complete solution.

Azure virtual machines run on Hyper-V physical servers. The physical servers are owned and managed by Microsoft. As an Azure customer, you have no access to the physical servers. Microsoft manage the replacement of failed server hardware and the security of the physical servers so you don't need to.
Incorrect Answers:
B: Microsoft have no control over the applications you run on the virtual machines. Therefore, it is your responsibility to ensure that application data is backed up.
D: Microsoft do not manage the operating systems you run on the virtual machines. Therefore, it is your responsibility to ensure that the operating systems are updated.
E: Microsoft have no control over the shared folders you host on the virtual machines. Therefore, it is your responsibility to ensure that folder permissions are configured appropriately.
The company plans to migrate its on-premises servers to Azure virtual machines. With this migration, some of the administrative responsibilities will be eliminated. Let's take a closer look at each of the options to determine which ones will be eliminated:
A. Replacing failed server hardware: When using Azure virtual machines, Microsoft is responsible for the underlying hardware, including replacing failed hardware. Therefore, this responsibility will be eliminated after the migration.
B. Backing up application data: Azure offers several backup solutions, including Azure Backup and Azure Site Recovery. With Azure Backup, you can protect application data running on Azure virtual machines by creating a backup policy that automatically schedules backups. With Azure Site Recovery, you can replicate your virtual machines to a secondary location for disaster recovery purposes. Therefore, after migrating to Azure, the company will still have to back up its application data. However, it can leverage Azure backup solutions to reduce the administrative overhead of backing up data.
C. Managing physical server security: With on-premises servers, managing physical server security is the responsibility of the company. However, with Azure virtual machines, Microsoft is responsible for securing the underlying infrastructure, including physical security. Therefore, this responsibility will be eliminated after the migration.
D. Updating server operating systems: With on-premises servers, the company is responsible for updating the server operating systems. However, with Azure virtual machines, Microsoft automatically updates the virtual machines' operating system with security updates and patches. Therefore, this responsibility will be eliminated after the migration.
E. Managing permissions to shared documents: Managing permissions to shared documents is not related to server infrastructure. It is a responsibility of the application or service running on the servers. Therefore, this responsibility will not be eliminated after the migration.
Based on the analysis above, the two administrative responsibilities that will be eliminated after the planned migration to Azure virtual machines are A. Replacing failed server hardware and D. Updating server operating systems.
