AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner (CLF-C02) — Question 652

A company stores data in an Amazon S3 bucket.

Which task is the responsibility of AWS?

Answer options

• A. Configure an S3 Lifecycle policy.
• B. Activate S3 Versioning.
• C. Configure S3 bucket policies.
• D. Protect the infrastructure that supports S3 storage.

Correct answer: D

Explanation

According to the AWS Shared Responsibility Model, AWS is responsible for the 'security of the cloud,' which includes protecting the global infrastructure, hardware, and software that run Amazon S3. Customers are responsible for 'security in the cloud,' which encompasses managing their own data, configuring access controls like S3 bucket policies, and enabling features like S3 Versioning and S3 Lifecycle policies.
