This AWS-based ec2 comes pre-configured with the latest Windows Server 2022 Base image that is optimized for security, featuring advanced hardening measures to help protect against vulnerabilities and ensure compliance with industry best practices.
This configuration includes stringent access controls, regular updates, and robust settings to enhance overall system integrity and resilience.
Implementing the foundational hardened image can help organizations establish a baseline level of security and reduce their risk exposure to common cyber threats. However, it's important to note that these benchmarks should be considered as a starting point, and organizations may need to customize them based on their specific security requirements and risk profile.
Implementing this advanced hardened image can help organizations further improve their security posture and better protect against more advanced and persistent threats.
Key features:
This hardened image map to many established standards and regulatory frameworks, including the NIST Cybersecurity Framework (CSF), the ISO 27000 series of standards, PCI DSS, HIPAA, and others.

You pay by the hour for this hardened Windows Server 2022 image with Level 2: Advanced security configuration. Pricing follows the EC2 instance type you choose to run it on. Each dimension maps to a specific instance size, from smaller general-purpose types like t3a.large and m5.xlarge up to memory-optimized, compute-optimized, storage, and GPU families such as r5.24xlarge, c6a.32xlarge, x1.32xlarge, and p3.16xlarge. Larger instances with more CPU, memory, or GPU carry higher hourly rates. You select the size that fits your workload and scale by switching instance types.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
What does the hourly rate cover, and what does it exclude?
The rate covers the software license for the hardened Windows Server 2022 image with Level 2: Advanced security configuration. You pay it per running hour on the chosen instance type. Underlying AWS compute, storage, and data transfer are billed separately by AWS. The two charges appear together on your AWS bill.
Am I charged the hourly software fee when the instance is stopped?
The software fee meters only running hours. When you stop or shut down the instance, the hourly software charge stops. Any attached AWS storage may still incur AWS fees while the instance is stopped, but those are AWS charges, not the software license.
How do I scale up, and does changing instance type change my hourly cost?
You scale by switching to a different instance type. Each dimension maps to a specific instance size across general-purpose, memory-optimized, compute-optimized, storage, and GPU families. Instances with more CPU, memory, or GPU carry higher hourly rates. The change is manual — you select the size that fits your workload.

An AMI is a virtual image that provides the information required to launch an instance. Amazon EC2 (Elastic Compute Cloud) instances are virtual servers on which you can run your applications and workloads, offering varying combinations of CPU, memory, storage, and networking resources. You can launch as many instances from as many different AMIs as you need.
