CLF-C02 - Security and Compliance - Section 2.1

Understand the AWS shared responsibility model and how responsibility for security shifts between the customer and AWS depending on the service used, such as Amazon EC2, Amazon RDS and AWS Lambda.

Understand that AWS secures the underlying cloud infrastructure while customers secure what they deploy within it, and that this boundary shifts by service type. Distinguish customer obligations for Amazon EC2, such as OS patching, from managed services like Amazon RDS and AWS Lambda, where AWS assumes more operational responsibility.
