In the context of the AWS Shared Responsibility Model for Amazon Relational Database Service (RDS), which of the following is a customer responsibility?
Managing the physical security of the data center where the database resides.
Performing maintenance on the underlying host hardware.
Applying patches to the database engine software.
Managing user access and permissions within the database.
The correct answer is that managing database user access and permissions is a customer responsibility. According to the AWS Shared Responsibility Model, for a managed service like Amazon RDS, AWS is responsible for the 'security of the cloud'. This includes managing the underlying hardware, patching the database engine and operating system, and securing the physical data centers. The customer is responsible for 'security in the cloud', which includes managing their data, configuring network-level access controls (like security groups), and managing user accounts and permissions within the database itself.
