Which statement correctly assigns responsibility for a hypervisor flaw versus an unpatched WordPress site on Amazon EC2 used by a city department?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
Building structure versus the furniture you brought in. AWS owns hypervisor issues in its virtualization layer. An outdated WordPress install on the city's EC2 guest OS is the city's patching problem.
Full Explanation
AWS is responsible for the virtualization layer, including addressing hypervisor vulnerabilities. On Amazon EC2, customers are responsible for the guest operating system and applications they install, such as WordPress and its plugins. Reversing those duties or assigning both layers to only one party is incorrect under the shared responsibility model.
