Operating Systems used by AWS RDS

What operating systems does Amazon RDS use. While I understand that when using RDS we are just exposed to a endpoint and internally the database we use might be supported by multiple systems, I would like to know what is the OS used by those systems.

To check the underlying operating of your MySQL DB instance on AWS RDS, you can use the following command:

mysql> SHOW variables LIKE '%version%';

Result:

+-------------------------+------------------------------+
| Variable_name           | Value                        |
+-------------------------+------------------------------+
| innodb_version          | 5.6.39                       |
| protocol_version        | 10                           |
| slave_type_conversions  |                              |
| version                 | 5.6.39-log                   |
| version_comment         | MySQL Community Server (GPL) |
| version_compile_machine | x86_64                       |
| version_compile_os      | Linux                        |
