AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner — Question 532

According to the AWS shared responsibility model, which task is the responsibility of the customer?

Answer options

• A. Protect the global infrastructure that runs all of the services offered in the AWS Cloud.
• B. Configure logical access controls for resources, and protect account credentials.
• C. Configure the security used by managed services.
• D. Patch and back up Amazon Aurora.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

Under the AWS shared responsibility model, AWS is responsible for 'security of the cloud', which includes protecting the global infrastructure and managing services like Amazon Aurora. Customers are responsible for 'security in the cloud', which encompasses managing user identities, safeguarding credentials, and setting up access controls. Therefore, configuring logical access and protecting account credentials is a customer responsibility.
