Overview
This is a repackaged open source software product wherein additional charges apply for support while launching it and connecting to the instance for the first time as well as continuous security updates available in new versions.
DESCRIPTION
Amazon Linux 2 is the next generation of Amazon Linux, a Linux server operating system from Amazon Web Services (AWS). It provides a secure, stable, and high performance execution environment to develop and run cloud and enterprise applications.
This image comes with FIPS (Federal Information Processing Standard) mode enabled. FIPS is applicable to systems that are required to be compliant with Federal Information Security Management Act (FISMA) or Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program (FedRAMP).
Details
This image has been configured primarily based on instructions provided by AWS in https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/publicsector/enabling-fips-mode-amazon-linux-2/ with some additional settings also enabled. See more in Usage Information (View usage instructions)

Pricing
Free trial
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.
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.
If you are an AWS Free Tier customer with a free plan, you are eligible to subscribe to this offer. You can use free credits to cover the cost of eligible AWS infrastructure. See AWS Free Tier for more details. If you created an AWS account before July 15th, 2025, and qualify for the Legacy AWS Free Tier, Amazon EC2 charges for Micro instances are free for up to 750 hours per month. See Legacy AWS Free Tier for more details.

Dimensions summary
You pay by the hour for this FIPS-enabled Amazon Linux 2 image, with no upfront commitment. Pricing is usage-based and tied to the EC2 instance type you launch. Each dimension maps to a specific AWS instance size, from small burstable types to large memory-, compute-, and storage-optimized instances, including bare metal options. Your cost scales with the instance you choose: larger instances with more CPU, memory, or storage carry a higher hourly rate. You pay only for the hours each instance runs. The software cost applies on top of standard AWS infrastructure charges.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
Each dimension bills per hour for one running EC2 instance of that specific type and size. One unit equals one instance-hour. The rate reflects the software licence for that instance size. You choose the instance type that matches the CPU, memory, or storage your workload needs.
The hourly software charge applies only while an instance runs. A stopped or terminated instance stops accruing software fees. Stopped instances may still incur standard AWS storage charges for attached volumes, but those are separate from this listing's per-hour software rate.
FIPS refers to Federal Information Processing Standards, security standards developed by a U.S. government standards body. Federal agencies and private companies with government contracts must comply. This image ships with FIPS-validated cryptography enabled, helping you meet those requirements. The hourly rate is the same regardless of how you use that capability.

Amazon Machine Image (AMI)
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
Updated AMI with latest security patches and improvements
Additional details
Usage instructions
- Launch the instance either via AWS MarketPlace wizard or EC2 console
SSH Access
- Configure the Security Group to open Inbound TCP port 22 from your location or a trusted CIDR range.
- Use an SSH client (for example: https://www.putty.org ) to connect to the instance's IP on port 22.
- Authenticate to the instance using the key pair selected during the instance launch. The user name is ec2-user.
FIPS 140-2 Mode
- This image has FIPS 140-2 mode enabled at the kernel level.
- To verify FIPS is active after launch:
- A return value of 1 indicates FIPS mode is enabled.
- FIPS mode ensures that only FIPS 140-2 validated cryptographic modules are used by the operating system.
Additional testing FIPS Mode
To validate FIPS mode, run the commands below:
fipscheckExpected result: fips mode is on
sysctl crypto.fips_enabledExpected result: crypto.fips_enabled = 1
openssl versionExpected result: OpenSSL 1.0.2k-fips 26 Jan 2017
openssl shaExpected result: Error setting digest sha 139648411678624:error:060800A3:digital envelope routines:EVP_DigestInit_ex:disabled for fips:digest.c:256:
ssh localhost 2>&1 | grep FIPSExpected result: FIPS mode initialized
Additional Information
Monitoring the Health of the instance
- Navigate to your Amazon EC2 console and verify that you're in the correct region.
- Choose Instance and select your launched instance.
- Select the server to display your metadata page and choose the Status checks tab at the bottom of the page to review if your status checks passed or failed.
Data Encryption
- This image does not provide encryption by default at the Operating System or Application level, customers are encouraged to enable EBS encryption during the Instance Launch: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/EBSEncryption.html
- EBS Encryption using the Default key enables key rotation
- More details: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/EBSEncryption.html#kms-key-rotation
- Using EBS encryption, the decryption is done automatically when using the instance.
- Customer data can be saved anywhere in the instance, however it is a good practice to save user data (including sensitive data) in the /home/<user-name> directory.
