Explanation
Under the AWS Shared Responsibility Model:
AWS Responsibility (Security OF the Cloud):
- Physical security of data centers
- Hardware infrastructure
- Network infrastructure
- Host operating system
- Virtualization layer
- Patching underlying hardware
Customer Responsibility (Security IN the Cloud):
- Data encryption and protection
- Identity and access management (IAM)
- Application security
- Operating system configuration
- Network traffic protection
- Rotating passwords for database users
For Amazon RDS (Relational Database Service):
- AWS manages: Infrastructure, hardware, host OS, database engine installation, and basic maintenance
- Customer manages: Database configuration, user management, password rotation, data encryption settings, and application-level security
Why the other options are incorrect:
- Installing a host operating system: AWS manages the host OS for RDS instances
- Patching underlying hardware: AWS is responsible for hardware maintenance and patching
- Provisioning RDS infrastructure: AWS handles the infrastructure provisioning when you create an RDS instance
Password rotation is a security best practice that customers must implement for their database users to maintain security compliance and prevent unauthorized access.
