Which of the following is NOT an AWS Shared Responsibility Model devised by AWS?
Full set: 363 questionsAWS officially categorizes its Shared Responsibility Model based on the type of service being consumed. The primary categories it defines are "Infrastructure services" (e.g., EC2), "Container services" (e.g., EKS, Fargate), and "Abstracted services" (e.g., S3, Lambda). The term "Abstract Services" is an incorrect naming of the official "Abstracted Services" category. While AWS offers many storage services, it does not define a distinct, top-level "Shared Responsibility Model for Storage Services"; instead, specific storage services fall into one of the other three categories.
A. AWS explicitly defines a Shared Responsibility Model for Container Services, covering services like EKS and Fargate.
B. The model for Infrastructure Services (like EC2) is a foundational concept in the AWS Shared Responsibility Model.
D. While not a top-level model name, AWS provides guidance for storage services (like S3 and EBS) that falls under the Abstracted and Infrastructure models, respectively. "Abstract Services" is a direct misnomer.
1. Amazon Web Services, Inc. (2023, March). AWS Shared Responsibility Model. AWS Whitepaper. p. 3. (This official AWS whitepaper clearly illustrates the three model categories as "Infrastructure services," "Container services," and "Abstracted services.")
2. Amazon Web Services, Inc. (n.d.). Shared Responsibility Model. AWS Security. Retrieved from aws.amazon.com/compliance/shared-responsibility-model/. (The official webpage details the model, consistently using the term "Abstracted Services" for services where AWS manages the operating system and platform.)
