Which of the following is the company responsible for managing, according to the AWS shared responsibility model?
EC2 hypervisor
Security patching of the guest operating system
Network connectivity of the host server
Uptime service level agreement (SLA) for the EC2 instances
Explanations:
The EC2 hypervisor is managed by AWS as part of the infrastructure layer. Customers do not have to manage or maintain the hypervisor itself.
Under the AWS shared responsibility model, customers are responsible for the security and management of the guest operating system, including applying security patches.
AWS manages the underlying physical infrastructure, including network connectivity of the host server. Customers are responsible for their instance’s networking configuration but not the physical connectivity.
While AWS provides a service level agreement (SLA) for uptime, the responsibility for maintaining application-level uptime and availability falls on the customer, but the SLA itself is defined by AWS.
