AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner (CLF-C02) — Question 121

Which task is the customer’s responsibility, according to the AWS shared responsibility model?

Answer options

• A. Maintain the security of the AWS Cloud.
• B. Configure firewalls and networks.
• C. Patch the operating system of Amazon RDS instances.
• D. Implement physical and environmental controls.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because configuring firewalls and networks is a responsibility that customers must manage within their own AWS environments. Options A and D pertain to security and physical controls that are managed by AWS, while option C involves patching, which is also the customer's responsibility but not as directly related to the configuration aspect of the environment.
