Correct answer: C, E

Explanation

According to the AWS shared responsibility model, AWS is responsible for security 'of' the cloud, which includes securing the physical infrastructure of data centers and patching the host virtualization software. Customers are responsible for security 'in' the cloud, which encompasses configuring IAM, setting up EC2 security groups, and patching their own guest operating systems and applications.
