Reveal correct answer
Correct answer: B
Explanation
Correct option:
The AWS Product Team automatically
Amazon Aurora is a MySQL and PostgreSQL-compatible relational database built for the cloud. Amazon Aurora is fully managed by Amazon Relational Database Service (RDS), which automates time-consuming administration tasks like hardware provisioning, database setup, patching, and backups. The AWS Product team is responsible for applying patches to the underlying OS for AWS Aurora.
Incorrect options:
The AWS customer by using AWS Systems Manager - AWS Systems Manager gives you visibility and control of your infrastructure on AWS. Systems Manager provides a unified user interface so you can view operational data from multiple AWS services and allows you to automate operational tasks such as running commands, managing patches and configuring servers across AWS Cloud as well as on-premises infrastructure. You can only use AWS Systems Manager to apply patches to your EC2 instances or on-premises instances. You cannot use Systems Manager to apply patches to the underlying OS for AWS Aurora.
The AWS Support after receiving a request from the customer - AWS Support handles support tickets regarding AWS services. AWS Support is not responsible for applying patches to the underlying OS for AWS Aurora.
The AWS customer by SSHing on the instances - AWS customers are only responsible for patching their own EC2 instances.
