Roles and responsibilities#

The following section defines who is responsible for specific functions related to managed and unmanaged virtual machines.

If Rackspace is responsible for performing the function, the roles and responsibilities are designated as Rackspace. If the customer is responsible for performing the function, the role and responsibilities are designated as Customer.

Because your Microsoft Hyper-V environment can be comprised of both managed and unmanaged virtual machines, Microsoft Hyper-V’s roles and responsibilities are also divided into two sections: managed virtual machines and unmanaged virtual machines, which includes customer-provided images.
