Shared Responsibility Model
It is essential for cloud practitioners to understand the Shared Responsibility Model. The Shared Responsibility Model is a security framework that splits the responsibility of securing all aspects of the cloud, including physical hardware, networks, software, configurations and data between cloud providers and customers. Cloud providers are responsible for securing the underlying infrastructure of the cloud, while customers are responsible for their data, configurations and other aspects of the cloud environment that may vary depending on the services they make use of.
