This is a repackaged open source software product wherein additional charges apply for image hardening, maintenance, and support. Apache Tomcat 10.1 on Amazon Linux 2023 with Amazon Corretto 21, security-hardened for production: minimal package set, SSH key-only access, IMDSv2-only, no manager apps or default users, and continuously patched images.
Apache Tomcat (Hardened) on Amazon Linux 2023 is a production-ready, security-hardened image of the Apache Tomcat servlet container running on Amazon Corretto 21, maintained and supported by Derek Coleman & Associates Inc.
This is repackaged open-source software. Apache Tomcat is developed by the Apache Software Foundation and is distributed under the Apache License 2.0. Apache and Apache Tomcat are trademarks of the Apache Software Foundation; this listing is not endorsed by or affiliated with the ASF. This product bundles unmodified upstream Apache Tomcat on a hardened Amazon Linux 2023 base; the charges associated with this listing are for image hardening, continuous patching, vulnerability scanning, and business-day support - not for the underlying open-source software, which remains free.
Hardening baseline: minimal package footprint, SSH key-only access (password authentication disabled), IMDSv2 enforced, and no default credentials anywhere - the manager, host-manager, docs, and examples webapps are removed, no Tomcat users are enabled, and the server version banner is suppressed. Images are rebuilt, scanned for HIGH and CRITICAL vulnerabilities, and republished on a regular cadence so that new launches start current. Deploy applications under /opt/tomcat/webapps and manage the service with systemd: sudo systemctl restart tomcat.
Highlights
Production-ready: systemd-managed Tomcat 10.1 on Amazon Corretto 21; deploy WARs under /opt/tomcat/webapps.
Security-hardened at build time: minimal packages, key-only SSH, IMDSv2-only, manager/example apps removed, no enabled Tomcat users, version banner suppressed.
Continuously patched: rebuilt, vulnerability-scanned, and republished on a regular cadence.
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.
You pay by the hour for a hardened Apache Tomcat image, with pricing set by the EC2 instance size you launch. The three dimensions are compute sizes: c7i.xlarge, c7i.2xlarge, and c7i.4xlarge. As you move from c7i.xlarge to c7i.2xlarge to c7i.4xlarge, vCPU and memory scale up, and the hourly software charge scales with them. Pick the size that fits your workload. There is no subscription and no minimum. Charges stop when you terminate the instance. AWS infrastructure fees are separate and billed by AWS.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
What resources does each instance size include, and which one does the vendor suggest?
The three sizes map to fixed compute and memory: c7i.xlarge is 4 vCPU / 8 GiB, c7i.2xlarge is 8 vCPU / 16 GiB, and c7i.4xlarge is 16 vCPU / 32 GiB. The vendor recommends c7i.2xlarge. Each running instance uses one EC2 instance and one gp3 EBS volume.
Am I charged when an instance is stopped or terminated?
The hourly software charge applies only while an instance runs. Charges stop when you terminate the instance. There is no subscription and no minimum. Stopped instances may still incur AWS storage fees for the attached EBS volume, but those are billed separately by AWS.
What do the hourly charges actually pay for, given Tomcat is open source?
The hourly charge covers image hardening, continuous patching, vulnerability scanning, and business-day support. It does not pay for the underlying Apache Tomcat software, which remains free open source. AWS infrastructure charges are separate and billed by AWS on your existing account.

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.
Version release notes
[Security] Refreshed image: rebuilt on the latest hardened Amazon Linux 2023 baseline; all OS packages current at build.

Usage instructions
Launch from AWS Marketplace (1-Click or EC2 console).
Connect via SSH with your EC2 key pair: ssh -i <key> ec2-user@<public-ip>. Root login is disabled; use sudo.
Tomcat serves on port 8080; deploy applications by placing WAR files under /opt/tomcat/webapps, then: sudo systemctl restart tomcat. The manager and host-manager apps are removed by design; administer via SSH.
Verify: curl -I http://<public-ip>:8080 returns a response, or: sudo systemctl status tomcat.
Sensitive data: there are no passwords or secrets anywhere in this product. Logs under /var/log may contain client IPs - treat as personal data.
Backup: snapshot the EBS volume (it contains all configuration and data).
Resources: a single instance uses 1 EC2 instance and 1 gp3 EBS volume; no other AWS resources are created.
