Explanation

In a PaaS model, Microsoft manages the underlying infrastructure components including the operating system and middleware/runtime, while the IT staff is responsible for the application layer and the data. Specifically, IT staff manages the Applications (the code and logic deployed) and Data (the information stored and processed), whereas Microsoft manages the Operating System (patching, updates, security) and the Runtime/Middleware environment. This shared responsibility model is a core characteristic of PaaS that distinguishes it from IaaS (where IT manages more) and SaaS (where Microsoft manages almost everything).
