You are the lead cloud architect at a start-up deploying web applications on AWS. One service runs on an Amazon EC2 instance. Which security responsibility is yours under the AWS shared responsibility model?
Upgrading the virtualization infrastructure on which the EC2 instance runs
Configuring network ACLs and security groups for the EC2 instance
Maintaining the hardware that the EC2 instance runs on
Ensuring the physical security of the data centers where the EC2 servers are hosted
Under the AWS shared responsibility model, AWS secures the cloud infrastructure-including hardware, virtualization, and the physical facilities-while customers secure their workloads in the cloud. For an Amazon EC2 instance, the customer must configure networking controls such as network ACLs and security groups, apply operating-system patches, manage application security, and protect their data. Tasks like data-center security, hardware maintenance, and virtualization-layer updates remain AWS responsibilities.
