The shared responsibility model describes this as security of the cloud and security in the cloud. - [AWS Architecture Center Security Best Practices](https://aws.amazon.com/architecture/security-identity-compliance): Learn how to meet your security and compliance goals using AWS infrastructure and services. - [Security Learning](https://aws.amazon.com/security/security-learning/): Security resources include security-related information in blog posts, whitepapers, tutorials, training, and more. - [Solutions for Security, Identity, and Compliance](https://aws.amazon.com/solutions/security/): These solution implementation guides discuss architectural considerations and provide steps for deploying security and compliance features. - [HIPAA Eligible Services](https://aws.amazon.com/compliance/hipaa-eligible-services-reference/): Lists HIPAA eligible services. Not all AWS services are HIPAA eligible. - [Compliance Resources](https://aws.amazon.com/compliance/resources/): Workbooks and guides specific to industries and locations. - [Security Compliance Management - AWS Artifact](https://aws.amazon.com/artifact/): Understand the shared responsibility model through the lens of compliance.
