Explanation
In the AWS Shared Responsibility Model:
AWS Responsibility (Security OF the Cloud):
-
Managing the underlying infrastructure
-
Hardware and facilities security
-
Network infrastructure
-
Virtualization layer
-
Operating system patches
-
Database engine maintenance
Customer Responsibility (Security IN the Cloud):
-
Data encryption at rest and in transit
-
Network access controls
-
Identity and access management
-
Application security
-
Client-side data protection
For Amazon RDS:
-
AWS manages: Hardware, virtualization, operating system patches, database engine maintenance
-
Customer manages: Database encryption options, access controls, security groups, IAM policies
Therefore, applying encryption options for the database is the customer's responsibility, while AWS handles the infrastructure, hardware, and patching responsibilities.
