Correct answer: Provide publicly accessible endpoints to store and retrieve data., Manage the underlying infrastructure and the operating system..
Why this is the answer
Under the AWS shared responsibility model, AWS is responsible for the security of the cloud, while the customer is responsible for security in the cloud. For DynamoDB, a managed service, AWS manages the underlying infrastructure, including hardware, networking, and the operating system (OS), and provides the service's publicly accessible endpoints for data interaction. These are part of "security of the cloud." The customer's responsibilities ("security in the cloud") include classifying data, setting up access permissions (e.g., IAM policies), and managing the encryption configuration (e.g., choosing KMS keys or AWS-owned keys). These tasks relate to the data itself and how it's accessed and protected within the service.
