The 'shared responsibility model' in cloud computing primarily defines the security obligations between:
The shared responsibility model outlines which security tasks are handled by the cloud provider (e.g., security OF the cloud infrastructure) and which are handled by the customer (e.g., security IN the cloud, like data configuration and access management).
