Explanation
According to the AWS Shared Responsibility Model:
-
AWS is responsible for "Security OF the Cloud" - This includes:
-
Protecting and securing the AWS global infrastructure
-
Maintaining the physical hardware
-
Securing the underlying virtualization infrastructure
-
Patching and maintaining AWS managed services like Amazon RDS
-
-
Customers are responsible for "Security IN the Cloud" - This includes:
-
Patching the guest operating system of EC2 instances
-
Managing security groups and network access control lists
-
Managing IAM users and permissions
-
Encrypting data at rest and in transit
-
Application-level security
-
Therefore, patching the guest operating system of Amazon EC2 instances is clearly a customer responsibility, while the other options (hardware security, AWS global infrastructure protection, and RDS patching) are AWS responsibilities.
