Which task is the company’s responsibility, according to the AWS shared responsibility model?
Apply encryption options for the database.
Manage the underlying server hardware on which Amazon RDS runs.
Apply patches to the underlying operating system.
Apply minor patches to the database.
Explanations:
The company is responsible for applying encryption options for the database, as this falls under data protection and management within the shared responsibility model.
Managing the underlying server hardware is the responsibility of AWS, as they own the infrastructure in the cloud.
Patching the underlying operating system is also AWS’s responsibility since Amazon RDS is a managed service where AWS handles the OS maintenance.
While database management can involve applying patches, for Amazon RDS, AWS typically manages minor patching; thus, this is not the customer’s responsibility.
As far as I can tell, the answer is:
Apply encryption options for the database.
I weigh that the answer is:
Apply encryption options for the database.
