Your company is deploying an application on AWS using Amazon EC2 instances. As part of the security compliance requirements, it's critical to ensure that operating system (OS) patches are regularly applied and that the server is protected against unauthorized access. Which of the following responsibilities fall under your company's purview according to the AWS shared responsibility model?
Virtualization infrastructure maintenance
Applying operating system patches to your instances
Environmental risk management for the hardware supporting your instances
Physical security of data center facilities where your instances are hosted
In the AWS shared responsibility model, AWS is responsible for the security of the cloud, including the infrastructure that runs all the services offered in the AWS Cloud. The customer is responsible for security in the cloud, which includes managing the guest operating system (including updates and security patches), any application software or utilities installed by the customer on the instances, and the configuration of the AWS provided firewall (security groups) on each instance. Therefore, applying OS patches and securing the server against unauthorized access are responsibilities of the customer.
