Day 1.3: AWS Shared Responsibility Model

What is AWS Shared Responsibility Model?
The AWS shared responsibility model defines the security responsibilities between AWS and its customers. AWS is responsible for the security "of" the cloud infrastructure, while customers are responsible for security "in" the cloud, focusing on configurations, data protection, and access controls.
AWS Responsibility ("of" the cloud) :
(1)Physical security: AWS ensures security of data centers. (2)Network infrastructure: AWS manages the global network infrastructure including protection against Distributed Denial of service(DDoS) attacks.
Customer Responsibility ("in" the cloud) :
(1)Encrypting sensitive data: Customers are responsible for implementing encryption to protect their data. (2)Managing access through IAM(Identity access management): Customers control who has access to their resources.

If you haven't understand, lets consider a real life analogy,

Consider Hotel owner as AWS and Guests as customers. AWS is like Hotel owner who takes care of the overall security and infrastructure, ensuring the physical and operational aspects are well-maintained. Customers are like hotel guests who are responsible for securing their individual spaces managing access to their data and using additional security measures within their control.
