In one sentence
AWS secures the cloud infrastructure, while customers secure their configurations, identities, applications, and data in the cloud.
Key points
- AWS is responsible for physical facilities, hardware, foundational networking, and virtualization.
- Customers manage data, IAM, network rules, encryption choices, application security, backup policy, and recovery testing.
- Customer responsibility is greater on EC2 and smaller at the infrastructure layer for RDS, Lambda, and DynamoDB, but never disappears.
Exam takeaway
Managed, fully managed, and serverless services still require correct permissions, configuration, cost control, and data protection.
