This is a repackaged open source software product wherein additional charges apply for hardening, security configuration, and setup support.
Jenkins is the leading open-source automation server for CI/CD, running the official Jenkins LTS line on OpenJDK 21 as a non-root service. This Lynxroute build is hardened and ready out of the box: the Jenkins controller is bound to loopback behind an nginx TLS perimeter on 443, each instance generates its own initial admin password for the setup wizard (you create your own admin), anonymous usage statistics are disabled, the JVM heap is auto-sized to the instance, no per-instance secrets are baked into the image, and the base is CIS Level 1 hardened Ubuntu 24.04 LTS.

WHAT IS JENKINS
Jenkins is the most widely deployed open-source automation server, the de facto standard for continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD). It is a Java application (a single WAR run on the JVM) that orchestrates building, testing, and deploying software through freestyle jobs and scripted or declarative Pipelines (Jenkinsfile). Its defining strength is an ecosystem of well over 1,800 community plugins, installed on demand from the Jenkins update center, covering source control (Git, GitHub, GitLab), build tools, containers, cloud providers, notifications, and credentials management. Jenkins supports distributed builds across agents, role-based access, and a rich REST API. This image ships the current Jenkins LTS line on OpenJDK 21 from the official Jenkins debian-stable repository, persisting all jobs and configuration under JENKINS_HOME on disk. MIT license, no vendor lock-in.
WHAT THIS AMI ADDS
Security hardening:
Jenkins controller bound to 127.0.0.1:8080 (loopback only); nginx terminates TLS on port 443 and reverse-proxies to it - port 8080 is never exposed
Each instance generates its own initial admin password at first boot, surfaced to /root/jenkins-credentials.txt (mode 600); you complete the setup wizard and create your own admin account - no shared admin is baked into the image
No per-instance secrets baked into the AMI - the Jenkins instance identity is regenerated on first launch
Anonymous usage statistics (telemetry) are disabled
JVM heap (-Xms/-Xmx) auto-sized to the instance RAM at first boot; temp directory kept off the noexec /tmp so builds run cleanly
Runs as a non-root jenkins system user with UMask 0027
certbot pre-installed - one command swaps the self-signed cert for a CA-signed one
UFW firewall pre-configured (only ports 22 and 443 open)
CVE scan - every image is scanned for vulnerabilities before release
OS hardening (CIS Level 1):
CIS Ubuntu 24.04 LTS Level 1 benchmark applied via ansible-lockdown
CIS Conformance Report at /etc/lynxroute/cis-report.html
CIS Tailored Profile at /usr/share/doc/lynxroute/CIS_TAILORED_PROFILE.md

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.
Try this product free for 5 days according to the free trial terms set by the vendor. Usage-based pricing is in effect for usage beyond the free trial terms. Your free trial gets automatically converted to a paid subscription when the trial ends, but may be canceled any time before that.
You pay by the hour for this hardened Jenkins image, billed through AWS Marketplace. The three options map to EC2 instance sizes: t3.large, t3.medium, and t3.small. They differ only in compute capacity, so your hourly rate scales with the size you pick. Larger instances carry more CPU and memory for heavier CI/CD workloads. There are no tiers or feature differences between them. Each option runs the same hardened image, so choose based on the compute you need. You can start, stop, or switch sizes without a long-term commitment.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
What specs do the t3.small, t3.medium, and t3.large options give me?
Each option maps to an AWS EC2 instance size that sets the CPU and memory your Jenkins server runs on. The t3.large carries the most CPU and memory, t3.medium sits in the middle, and t3.small the least. All three run the same hardened image.
Am I charged when my Jenkins instance is stopped or paused?
Billing meters running instance-hours. A fully stopped instance stops accruing the hourly software charge. You may still pay underlying AWS storage fees for the attached volume while the instance is stopped, but the software license counts running time only.
What hardening and security work is included in the hourly rate?
Each image ships with CIS Level 1 OS hardening, SSH and kernel hardening, a firewall, and intrusion prevention pre-configured. A software bill of materials and a CIS Conformance Report are bundled inside. Unique credentials are generated per instance at first boot, with no telemetry.

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
Jenkins 2.580.2
Security: fixes CVE-2026-111497, a critical (CVSS 9.8) buffer overflow in the Brotli decompression library that lets a crafted compressed stream crash a process or execute code. Ships Ubuntu brotli 1.1.0-2ubuntu0.1 (USN-8956-1). Every earlier image of this product carries the vulnerable library; replace running instances or run: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install --only-upgrade libbrotli1 brotli python3-brotli
Jenkins updated 2.580.1 -> 2.580.2. MIT unchanged
Security fixes from the 2026-10-28 Jenkins advisory, including XStream deserialization RCE (CVE-2026-117612), a setup-wizard admin creation race (CVE-2026-117618) and several XSS / path-traversal issues
Jetty updated to 12.1.14
Rebuilt on the latest CIS Level 1 hardened Ubuntu 24.04 LTS base, picking up every operating-system security update published since the previous build
Read the initial admin password: sudo cat /root/jenkins-credentials.txt
Open https://<PUBLIC_IP>/ in your browser - accept the self-signed certificate warning. Jenkins shows the "Unlock Jenkins" page.
Paste the initial administrator password from step 4 to unlock, then complete the setup wizard: choose "Install suggested plugins" (fetched from the Jenkins update center over the internet) and create YOUR first admin user.
On the "Instance Configuration" step keep the Jenkins URL as https://<PUBLIC_IP>/ and finish.
Jenkins is bound to 127.0.0.1:8080; nginx terminates TLS on port 443 and reverse-proxies to it. The initial admin password is generated uniquely per instance at first boot and saved to /root/jenkins-credentials.txt. The JVM heap is sized automatically from the instance RAM, and anonymous usage statistics are disabled.
Restrict Security Group port 443 to your own IP until you have completed the setup wizard, so only you can claim the admin account.
Replace the self-signed TLS certificate with a CA-signed certificate for production use:
sudo certbot --nginx -d yourdomain.com
