Explanation

Under the AWS shared responsibility model, AWS is responsible for managing and maintaining the infrastructure that includes the operating systems for Amazon RDS. This means AWS handles OS-level upgrades, security patches, and other underlying infrastructure management tasks. The client, the company, and the third-party provider are responsible for managing their own data and applications but not for the operating systems of the RDS service itself.
