A company using a web application hosted in a Docker container on Amazon EC2, what is AWS responsible for?

In the context of a company using a web application hosted in a Docker container on Amazon EC2, AWS takes responsibility for managing the physical infrastructure maintenance. This includes ensuring the physical servers, storage, and network hardware are operational and secure. AWS handles things like power, HVAC, hardware redundancy, and general facility management of its data centers.

This allows customers to focus on deploying and managing their applications without needing to worry about the physical resources that underpin those applications. While customers are responsible for their application logic, data management, server configuration, and network configuration within the EC2 instances and containers, AWS ensures that the underlying physical infrastructure remains available, reliable, and efficient.
