Overview
This is a repackaged open source software product wherein additional charges apply for patching the operating system and the maintenance provided by Kurian.
FIPS (Federal Information Processing Standard) 140-2 is a cryptography standard that non-military U.S. federal agencies, as well as government contractors and service providers, must comply with in order to work with any federal government entities that collect, store, transfer, share and disseminate sensitive but unclassified (SBU) information. The FIPS 140-2 security standard is recognized by the U.S. and Canadian governments, as well as by the European Union.
This AMI is FIPS 140-2 compliant at the operating system level and applications can be run on this platform to meet compliance requirements as well as to harden the runtime environment.
Kurian has released preconfigured software applications such as CMS platforms, Jenkins, databases, LAMP stack, Ansible, popular tools in DevOps toolchain, and monitoring applications that are widely used by system administrators and DevOps engineers. For selected Linux distributions hardened images based on CIS benchmark are also available. The Kurian AMIs are built following official installation steps so you do not need to learn any custom procedures if additional configurations need to be done.
Highlights
- The Federal Information Processing Standard 140-2 (FIPS 140-2) compliant.
- AMI is built with the latest operating system and security patches.
- Also relevant to businesses operating in the energy, transportation, manufacturing, healthcare and financial services sectors.

(2022-09-26) OpenSSL 1.0.2k-fips. Good for TLS 1.2, but no good for TLS 1.3 needs.
Looking for a fips compliant ami for tls 1.3 purposes, look elsewhere. No details posted on the Kurian website, wiki, or github, and no reviews to help determine if this image would meet those requirements or not. Looking for an OpenSSL v1.1.1 fips cert.
