d) Service Updates are unrelated to service maintenance.

Answer:

The Service Updates feature in AWS ElastiCache partially replaces and helps minimize the impact of maintenance on the service.

The Service Updates feature in AWS ElastiCache does not replace all maintenance activities, but it partially replaces and helps minimize the impact of maintenance on the service. Therefore, option b) Service Updates partially replace but do not eliminate maintenance is the correct answer.

Service Updates in ElastiCache are designed to help with the application availability during maintenance windows. They provide automatic failover options and keep the service running while maintenance activities are performed.

For example, when a node in the ElastiCache cluster needs to be replaced or upgraded, the Service Updates feature allows for seamless updates without downtime by automatically routing the traffic to other available nodes in the cluster.
