Your organization is leveraging Amazon EC2 instances and Amazon S3 storage for its new web application. Which of the following would be AWS's responsibility according to the AWS shared responsibility model?
Encrypting sensitive data stored in S3 buckets.
Patch management of the EC2 instance's guest operating system.
Implementing a firewall configuration for the EC2 instances.
Physical security of the data centers where EC2 and S3 hardware is housed.
Under the shared responsibility model, AWS is responsible for the infrastructure that runs all of the services offered in the AWS Cloud. This infrastructure consists of the hardware, software, networking, and facilities that run AWS Cloud services. While AWS handles infrastructure and foundation services, customers are responsible for securing their data within the cloud. Patch management of the EC2 instance's guest operating system, applications, and utilities, as well as firewall configuration for the EC2 instance, fall under the customer's management. However, the physical security of data centers where the hardware for EC2 and S3 resides is an AWS responsibility.
