This product has charges associated with it for security hardening.
This AWS-based ec2 is pre-configured with the latest ALMA Linux 8 image, hardened and optimized for security and compliance.
This is a repackaged software product wherein additional charges apply for hardening.
This AWS-based ec2 comes pre-configured with the latest ALMA Linux 8 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.
Hardening is a process that helps protect against unauthorized access, denial of service, and other cyberthreats by limiting potential weaknesses that make systems vulnerable to cyberattacks.

You pay by the hour for this hardened ALMA Linux 8 image with Level 2 Advanced security. Pricing is not tiered by feature. Instead, each rate maps to a specific Amazon EC2 instance type you choose to run the image on. The many options span general-purpose, compute-optimized, memory-optimized, storage-optimized, GPU, and high-memory instance families in various sizes. Larger instances with more compute, memory, or specialized hardware carry higher hourly rates. Your cost scales with the instance you select and the number of hours you run it. You can stop the instance to stop charges.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
What does the hourly rate cover, and what does it exclude?
The rate covers the software licence for the hardened ALMA Linux 8 image with Level 2 Advanced security. It meters each running instance-hour. You separately pay AWS for the underlying EC2 compute. The image is validated against DISA STIG, PCI-DSS, HIPAA, and NIST security frameworks.
Am I charged when the instance is stopped or powered off?
Software charges accrue only while the instance runs. When you stop the instance, hourly software charges end. Underlying AWS storage fees for the stopped instance's volumes may still apply, but those come from AWS, not the software licence, which meters running time only.
Why do rates differ across instance types, and how do I pick one?
Each rate maps to one EC2 instance type. General-purpose, compute-optimized, memory-optimized, storage-optimized, GPU, and high-memory families all appear. Rates track the compute, memory, and specialized hardware each instance provides. Choose the instance that matches your workload; your hourly cost follows that selection and the hours you run.

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.
