AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner (CLF-C02) — Question 145

Which option is a customer responsibility under the AWS shared responsibility model?

Answer options

• A. Maintenance of underlying hardware of Amazon EC2 instances
• B. Application data security
• C. Physical security of data centers
• D. Maintenance of VPC components

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B, as customers are responsible for the security of their application data in the AWS shared responsibility model. Options A and C are responsibilities of AWS, as they manage the underlying hardware and physical security. Option D, while related to customer management, is not as directly tied to the shared responsibility model as application data security.
