A municipal IT lead compares Amazon EC2, Amazon RDS, and AWS Lambda for who manages the operating system or runtime layer. Which ordering correctly shows increasing AWS responsibility for that layer?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
Imagine mowing your own lawn, hiring a landscaper for the yard, then moving into a hotel where facilities handle the grounds. EC2 is closest to DIY OS work, RDS shifts more database-host duties to AWS, and Lambda pushes runtime patching furthest toward AWS. The city's app and data duties do not vanish.
Full Explanation
On Amazon EC2, customers are responsible for the guest operating system. Amazon RDS is a managed database service where AWS operates more of the database infrastructure and patching of the managed environment, while customers still configure access and data protection. AWS Lambda further abstracts the runtime environment, which AWS operates, while customers remain responsible for function code, permissions, and secrets. That progression increases AWS responsibility for the OS/runtime layer from EC2 to RDS to Lambda.
