AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner — Question 940

A company is creating a document that defines the operating system patch routine for all the company's systems.
Which AWS resources should the company include in this document? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. Amazon EC2 instances
• B. AWS Lambda functions
• C. AWS Fargate tasks
• D. Amazon RDS instances
• E. Amazon Elastic Container Service (Amazon ECS) instances

Correct answer: A, E

Explanation

Under the AWS Shared Responsibility Model, customers are responsible for managing and patching the guest operating system on Amazon EC2 instances and Amazon ECS container instances (EC2 launch type). Conversely, AWS automatically handles OS patching for fully managed and serverless services such as AWS Lambda, AWS Fargate, and Amazon RDS.
