Adapting shared responsibilities for specific services
The AWS shared responsibility model provides a framework for building resilient cloud infrastructure, but its application varies depending on the specific services you employ. Understanding how this model adapts to different services is crucial for crafting comprehensive resilience strategies. In this section, we will learn about differences and similarities in AWS and customer responsibilities with respect to some of the important AWS services.
When it comes to customer responsibility in managing resilience in AWS services, the higher the abstraction, the lower the workload for customers in managing the resilience of the infrastructure.
In Figure 5.2, we attempt to showcase the variance in the level of responsibility customers have depending on the type of AWS service being used.
