A company is using Amazon DynamoDB. Which task is the company's responsibility, according to the AWS shared responsibility model?
A
Patch the operating system.
B
Provision hosts.
C
Manage database access permissions.
D
Secure the operating system.
Explanation:
In the AWS shared responsibility model:
AWS is responsible for security OF the cloud - This includes patching the operating system, provisioning hosts, and securing the underlying infrastructure for managed services like DynamoDB.
The customer is responsible for security IN the cloud - This includes managing database access permissions, configuring security groups, and controlling who can access their data.
For Amazon DynamoDB (a fully managed NoSQL database service):
AWS handles: OS patching, host provisioning, infrastructure security
Customer handles: Database access permissions, IAM policies, data encryption settings
Therefore, managing database access permissions is the company's responsibility.
