AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner (CLF-C02) — Question 561

Which group shares responsibility with AWS for security and compliance of AWS accounts and resources?

Answer options

• A. Third-party vendors
• B. Customers
• C. Reseller partners
• D. Internet providers

Correct answer: B

Explanation

According to the AWS Shared Responsibility Model, security and compliance are a shared effort between AWS and the customer. AWS is responsible for the security 'of' the cloud, while customers are responsible for security 'in' the cloud, which includes configuring and securing their own accounts and resources. Other entities like third-party vendors, resellers, or ISPs do not share this direct responsibility with AWS.
