Answer choices

Why each option matters

Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.

Correct answer & explanation

✓

AWS Systems Manager Patch Manager

Options A and E are correct. AWS Systems Manager Patch Manager automates OS patching directly on EC2 instances, while EC2 Image Builder creates updated AMIs with patches for SAP workloads. Options B (AWS Backup), C (Amazon Inspector), and D (AWS Config) do not automate patching: AWS Backup is for backups, Amazon Inspector scans for vulnerabilities, and AWS Config audits configuration compliance.
