A city team assumes AWS automatically patches the guest operating system on every Amazon EC2 instance. Under the shared responsibility model, what is correct?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
On EC2, AWS locks the building and runs the power plant; you still lock your apartment door and update your own OS. Guest OS and apps are on the customer side of the shared model. Hoping AWS silently patches every guest image is the wrong assumption.
Full Explanation
Under the AWS shared responsibility model for EC2, AWS is responsible for security of the cloud infrastructure, while customers secure the guest operating system, applications, data, and configurations they control. Automatic guest OS patching by AWS is not the default EC2 responsibility split. Cloud Practitioner candidates must place that boundary correctly.
