What Security and Compliance questions test

  • The shared responsibility model: security "of" the cloud (AWS) vs "in" the cloud (you), and how the split shifts between EC2, RDS and Lambda
  • Compliance and governance: AWS Artifact for reports, CloudWatch for monitoring, CloudTrail and Config for auditing, encryption in transit and at rest
  • IAM users, groups, roles and policies, least privilege, MFA, IAM Identity Center, federation, access keys and Secrets Manager, and tasks only the root user can do
  • Security services: WAF, Firewall Manager, Shield, GuardDuty, Inspector, Security Hub, Macie, Detective, KMS, Trusted Advisor, and third-party tools in AWS Marketplace

How to study it

  • For each service you meet, ask whether AWS or the customer patches the operating system
  • Separate the auditing trio: CloudTrail records who did what, Config records how resources are configured over time, CloudWatch records metrics and logs
  • Root user: lock it away with MFA and use it only for the few tasks that need it

Common questions

Who patches the guest operating system on EC2?

The customer. AWS patches the host and the virtualization layer; on managed services such as RDS, AWS also patches the database engine and its operating system.

Where do I find AWS compliance reports such as SOC or ISO?

In AWS Artifact, the self-service portal for AWS compliance reports and agreements.
