Question

A city board asks whether the AWS shared responsibility model always splits security work exactly 50/50 between AWS and the city. Which response is accurate?

Accepted Answer

No — the split depends on the service model used, not a fixed percentage. — Think of renting a bare room versus a furnished apartment with utilities included — your chores change with what you rented. Shared responsibility is not a locked 50/50 pie chart. EC2 leaves more OS work with the customer; managed and serverless services shift more of that layer to AWS.

Answer

Yes — every AWS service uses a fixed half-and-half security split.

Answer

Yes — AWS and customers always share identical OS patching duties.

Answer

No — customers have zero security duties after any migration to AWS.
