Question #824
Which tasks are the customer’s responsibility under the AWS shared responsibility model? (Choose two.)
Manage physical security of data centers.
Encrypt data stored in Amazon S3.
Install updates on EC2 instances.
Maintain hypervisor security.
Ensure availability of AWS regions.
Explanation
The AWS shared responsibility model divides tasks between AWS and the customer. AWS manages physical security of data centers (A), hypervisor security (D), and region availability (E). Customers, however, must encrypt their data (B) because AWS only provides encryption tools, and manage their EC2 instances, including OS updates (C). Options A, D, and E are AWS responsibilities, while B and C are customer obligations. Key takeaway: Customers handle data security and instance management, while AWS manages the underlying infrastructure.
