Security and Compliance is a shared responsibility between AWS and the customer.

This shared model

can help relieve the customer™€‫ג‬s operational burden as
AWS operates, manages and controls the components from the host operating system
and virtualization
layer down to the physical security of the facilities in which the service
operates.

Question#11
Which of the following is a critical design concept for architecting cloud
applications?
A. Use the largest instance possible
B. Provision capacity for peak load
C. Use the Scrum development process
D. Implement elasticity
Answer: D
Cloud services main proposition is to provide elasticity through horizontal
scaling. It™€‫ג‬s already there.
As for using largest instance possible, it is not a design principle that helps
cloud applications in anyway.
Scrum development process is not related to architecting. Therefore, a key
principle is to provision your
application for on-demand capacity. Peak loads is something that cloud applications
experience
everyday. Peak load management should be a necessary part of cloud application
design principle.
