Examples of shared controls include:

* Patch Management C AWS is responsible for patching and fixing flaws within the infrastructure, but customers are responsible for patching their guest OS and applications.

* Configuration Management C AWS maintains the configuration of its infrastructure devices, but a customer is responsible for configuring their own guest operating systems, databases, and applications.

* Awareness & Training C AWS trains AWS employees, but a customer must train their own employees.
