I lean towards the consumer covering most of it. They should know their needs.

Option D sounds like a good compromise, but in reality, the provider has to take the lead on infrastructure security.

I agree with Alease. The cloud provider has to ensure the security of the underlying infrastructure.

I thought it was split equally, but now I'm questioning if that's really the case or if it's more about the provider's role.

Okay, I've got a strategy for this. I'll first consider the general principles of cloud security, then match that to the specific options provided. I think I can narrow it down from there.

I think this is a tricky one. I'll need to carefully read through the options and think about the responsibilities of the cloud consumer versus the cloud provider.
