Sample Questions

Question 1

In the cloud shared-responsibility model, what is the cloud provider responsible for?

A. Security of the cloud — physical facilities, hypervisor, host OS, and network fabric of the platform

B. Security in the cloud — applications, data, identity policies, and OS hardening for workload, in typical production scenarios

C. Both security of the cloud and security in the cloud across customer accounts under the contract

D. Neither — security is fully delegated to a third-party managed security service provider entity

✓ Correct Answer: A

Providers are responsible for "security OF the cloud" — physical security, hypervisor, host OS, network. B describes customer responsibility. C overstates provider scope. D is incorrect.

Question 2

In the cloud shared-responsibility model, what is the customer typically responsible for?

A. Security in the cloud — applications, data, IAM, network configuration, and (for IaaS) the guest OS

B. Patching the cloud provider's hypervisor and updating the underlying physical host firmware, in typical production scenarios

C. Physical security of the data center and replacement of failed storage hardware as needed, under common configurations

D. Maintaining the cloud provider's control plane software and authoring its API endpoints directly

✓ Correct Answer: A

Customers own "security IN the cloud" — their workloads, data, identity, and (in IaaS) the guest OS. B, C, and D are all provider responsibilities the customer cannot perform.
