AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner (CLF-C02) — Question 379

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

Answer options

• A. Application data security
• B. Patch management for applications that run on Amazon EC2 instances
• C. Patch management of the underlying infrastructure for managed services
• D. Application identity and access management

Correct answer: C

Explanation

Under the AWS shared responsibility model, AWS is responsible for the 'security of the cloud,' which includes maintaining and patching the underlying infrastructure of managed services. Customers, on the other hand, are responsible for 'security in the cloud,' which covers application data security, identity and access management, and patching guest operating systems or applications on Amazon EC2 instances.
