AWS Shared Responsibility Model for Security

• Official AWS document: https://aws.amazon.com/compliance/shared-responsibility-model/

• 🔧 AWS uses this model to clarify who is responsible for which security areas
  • Security OF the cloud → Responsibility of AWS
  • Security IN the cloud → Responsibility of the customer
• Similar concept to infrastructure stack of cloud service models (like IaaS and PaaS), which divides stack responsibility between vendor and customer, depending on the service model. But the Shared Responsibility Model is…
  • …applied cloud-wide
  • …exclusively about security
• 💡 Useful model to keep in mind (e.g. printed out and nearby) as you learn about AWS
