AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner

Explanation

According to the AWS Shared Responsibility Model:

• Customer data is ALWAYS the customer's responsibility to manage and secure

• Software licenses - AWS manages infrastructure licenses, but customers are responsible for their application software licenses

• Networking - AWS manages the underlying network infrastructure, but customers configure security groups, VPCs, etc.

• Encryption keys - While customers can manage their own keys, AWS also provides key management services

Key Points:

• AWS Responsibility: Security OF the cloud (infrastructure, hardware, software, facilities)

• Customer Responsibility: Security IN the cloud (customer data, platform/applications, identity/access management)

Customer data is the only item in this list that is unequivocally and always the customer's responsibility under the shared responsibility model.
