Correct answer: Network infrastructure and virtualization of the infrastructure, Physical security of AWS hardware.
Why this is the answer
Under the AWS shared responsibility model, AWS is responsible for the "security of the cloud." This includes the underlying infrastructure, such as network infrastructure and virtualization, and the physical security of the data centers where AWS hardware resides. Customers are responsible for "security in the cloud." This means managing their application data, guest operating systems, and credentials/policies. Therefore, AWS handles the network infrastructure, virtualization, and physical security of its hardware, while customers manage their data, OS, and access controls.
