In the shared responsibility model, the cloud provider typically manages the physical infrastructure, including the data centers and hardware that support cloud services.

Physical Infrastructure Management:

The cloud provider is responsible for maintaining and securing the physical infrastructure, ensuring that the data centers are protected from physical threats such as unauthorized access, natural disasters, and hardware failures.

This includes tasks such as power management, cooling, physical security, and hardware maintenance.

Customer Responsibilities:

While the cloud provider manages the physical infrastructure, the customer is responsible for managing their data, applications, and user access. This includes configuring security settings, managing data encryption, and ensuring application-level security.
