AWS Certified SysOps Administrator – Associate (legacy) — Question 418

Which of the following are the customer's responsibilities, according to the AWS Shared Responsibility Security Model? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. Operating system, network, and firewall configuration
• B. Client-side data encryption and data integrity authentication
• C. AWS data center access logs
• D. Hypervisor updates and configuration
• E. Physical media destruction

Correct answer: A, B

Explanation

According to the AWS Shared Responsibility Model, the customer is responsible for security 'in' the cloud, which includes managing guest operating systems, firewall configurations, and data encryption. AWS manages security 'of' the cloud, meaning physical security, hypervisor maintenance, and hardware disposal (options C, D, and E) are entirely handled by AWS.
