When a company opts for a managed relational database service instead of provisioning virtual servers to host and manage their own database instances, how does the responsibility of patching database management software typically shift?
The service provider assumes the patching duties for the database management software, relieving the customer of this responsibility.
The service provider patches the operating system only, while the customer remains responsible for database software updates.
Regardless of the database hosting solution chosen, both the customer and the service provider share the responsibility equally for software maintenance.
The customer retains full responsibility for patching the database management software, regardless of the database solution chosen.
Opting for a managed database service implies that the service provider, AWS in this case, takes over the responsibility for patching and maintaining the database management software. This is a key feature of managed services to reduce operational load on customers. In contrast, when a customer provisions virtual servers to run their own databases, they retain the responsibility for applying patches and updates to the database software.
