This product has charges associated with it for seller hardening and maintenance support. The Foundation HIPAA Compliant CentOS 9 AMI is designed to help organizations meet the stringent requirements of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), enhancing the protection of sensitive health information.
The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) is a set of regulations that establishes national standards for protecting the privacy and security of individuals' sensitive health information. HIPAA compliance is mandatory for any entity that deals with protected health information (PHI), including healthcare providers, insurers, and their business associates. Adhering to HIPAA involves implementing measures such as secure data transmission, access controls, regular audits, and proper disposal of PHI.

AWS Marketplace now accepts line of credit payments through the PNC Vendor Finance program. This program is available to select AWS customers in the US, excluding NV, NC, ND, TN, & VT.
Pricing is based on actual usage, with charges varying according to how much you consume. Subscriptions have no end date and may be canceled any time. Alternatively, you can pay upfront for a contract, which typically covers your anticipated usage for the contract duration. Any usage beyond contract will incur additional usage-based costs.
Additional AWS infrastructure costs may apply. Use the AWS Pricing Calculator to estimate your infrastructure costs.
You pay by the hour for a hardened, HIPAA-compliant CentOS 9 image running on AWS Graviton ARM-based EC2 instances. Pricing is not tiered. Instead, each dimension maps to a specific EC2 instance type, so your hourly rate follows the size and family you pick. Compute-optimized (c-series), memory-optimized (r- and x-series), general-purpose (m- and t-series), and storage- or IO-focused (i- and is-series) families are available. Rates scale with instance size, from small medium instances up to metal and 48xlarge sizes. You choose the instance that fits your workload and pay only for hours used.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
What do I actually get for each hourly rate on this listing?
Each dimension maps to one AWS Graviton ARM-based EC2 instance type running a hardened, HIPAA-compliant CentOS 9 image. Your hourly rate reflects that instance's size and family. You run one instance per selected type and pay for each hour it runs.
Am I charged when the instance is stopped or paused?
The software charge meters running hours only. A fully stopped instance does not accrue this hourly software fee. Underlying AWS storage or other AWS resource fees may still apply while the instance is stopped, but those are billed by AWS separately from the software.
Is this pay-as-you-go, or do I commit to a fixed term upfront?
This is usage-based. You pay per instance-hour with no upfront commitment. There are no tiers or minimum quantities. Cost scales with the instance size and family you choose and the number of hours each instance runs. This suits variable or short-lived workloads.

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.

Regarding Security Configurations
Utilizing hardened images necessitates a nuanced approach due to their advanced security configurations and access controls, which may require additional adjustments for compatibility with specific workflows or applications. These images are designed with enhanced security measures to minimize vulnerabilities, offering superior protection compared to baseline images without pre-configured security settings. However, integrating them seamlessly into your operations might involve collaboration with security experts or providers for customization, ensuring both robust security and operational functionality. This extra step, while requiring more initial setup, positions hardened images as a more secure and compliant foundation for deployments, ultimately offering a significant advantage over baseline images by saving time and resources in achieving a secure, compliant, and efficient infrastructure.
