Which statement correctly distinguishes AWS infrastructure duties from customer duties on Amazon EC2 for a city website?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
The landlord keeps the building structure and elevator machinery; you maintain the furniture in your rented unit. AWS handles host hardware, firmware, and the hypervisor. On EC2, the city still patches and hardens the guest OS running its website.
Full Explanation
AWS responsibility for security of the cloud includes physical hardware, host firmware, and the virtualization layer. On Amazon EC2, the customer is responsible for the guest operating system, including patching and configuration. Customers do not maintain AWS host firmware or Region rack power, and they do not jointly edit hypervisor source as a shared coding task.
