Episode 18 — Shared Responsibility Model — Dividing Risk Between Vendor and Customer

In this episode, we break down the shared responsibility model, a foundational concept in cloud security and operations. You’ll learn how responsibilities are divided between cloud service providers and customers across different service models like IaaS, PaaS, and SaaS. We provide examples of what each party is accountable for, from securing the physical infrastructure to managing application-level settings and user data.We also discuss how misunderstandings of this model can lead to security breaches, compliance failures, or operational gaps, and how exam questions often test your ability to identify who is responsible in specific scenarios. This understanding is critical not only for passing the Cloud+ exam but also for effectively managing cloud-based systems in the real world.
