A county auditor asks who is responsible for hiring and managing physical security guards at AWS Region datacenters that host the city's workloads. Which answer is correct?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
Picture a locked warehouse you rent space in — the landlord hires the night watch, not every tenant. AWS runs the physical datacenter security, including the guards. The city still secures its data and accounts, but not the Region building doors.
Full Explanation
Under the AWS shared responsibility model, AWS is responsible for security of the cloud, which includes physical facilities, hardware, and on-site security controls at Regions. Customers do not hire or manage AWS datacenter guards. GuardDuty is a threat detection service, not a physical-security staffing product, and physical facility security is not split as a fixed 50/50 customer duty.
