Both AWS and the customer are responsible for maintaining the operating system.
It is AWS's responsibility to maintain the operating system.
It is the customer's responsibility to maintain the operating system.
The responsibility varies and must be specified in a service level agreement (SLA).
When using Amazon EC2, AWS is responsible for the infrastructure that runs all of the services offered in the AWS Cloud. This includes the hardware, the software that runs the virtualization environment, and the physical security of the data centers. However, the customer is responsible for the security in the cloud, which includes the operating system, applications, and data on the EC2 instances. Therefore, it falls to the customer to ensure that the operating system patches are kept up to date.
