AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner (CLF-C02) — Question 430

Which task is the responsibility of a company that is using Amazon RDS?

Answer options

• A. Provision the underlying infrastructure.
• B. Create IAM policies to control administrative access to the service.
• C. Install the cables to connect the hardware for compute and storage.
• D. Install and patch the RDS operating system.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

Under the AWS Shared Responsibility Model for Amazon RDS, AWS manages the underlying infrastructure, physical security, and operating system patching. The customer is responsible for data management, database settings, and access control, which includes creating IAM policies to regulate administrative access. Therefore, configuring IAM policies is a customer responsibility, while the other tasks are handled by AWS.
