You are a SysOps Administrator for a company. The company plans to start using AWS and launch a set of resources that will consist of EC2 Instances and an RDS Instance. You need to ensure that you draft the responsibilities for your team when it comes to maintaining the infrastructure on AWS. Which of the following would you consider? Choose 2 answers from the options given below.

Answer options:

A.Patch management of the underlying physical servers.
B.Patch management of the underlying guest OS for EC2 instance.
C.Inventory management for the underlying infrastructure devices.
D.Inventory management for the underlying databases.

Correct Answers: B and D
The AWS Documentation mentions the following.
Shared Controls – Controls that apply to both the infrastructure and customer layers, but in completely separate contexts or perspectives. AWS provides the requirements for the infrastructure. The customer must provide their own control implementation within their use of AWS services in a shared control. Examples include:
· Patch Management – AWS is responsible for patching and fixing flaws within the infrastructure, but customers are responsible for patching their guest OS and applications.
· Configuration Management – AWS maintains its infrastructure devices` configuration, but a customer is responsible for configuring their own guest operating systems, databases, and applications.
· Awareness & Training - AWS trains AWS employees, but a customer must train their own employees.
Options A and C are incorrect since these are the responsibility of AWS.
