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.

You pay by the hour for this hardened Rocky Linux 9 image with Level 2 Advanced security. Pricing has no tiers or plans. Instead, you pick the AWS EC2 instance type that fits your workload. Each dimension maps to one instance size, from small general-purpose types like t3.small to large compute, memory, storage, and GPU instances such as c7a.48xlarge, r7a.48xlarge, and p5.48xlarge. The hourly software rate scales with instance size. You are billed only for hours the instance runs. AWS infrastructure charges apply separately.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
What does one hourly unit cover for a given instance type?
One unit is one running instance of the selected EC2 type, licensed with the hardened Rocky Linux 9 Level 2 Advanced image. You are billed per hour each instance runs. Running two instances of the same type bills two hourly rates in parallel. The rate matches the specific instance size you launch.
Am I charged the software rate when an instance is stopped?
The hourly software charge meters running time only. A stopped instance does not accrue the software rate. Underlying AWS storage for the volume may still incur separate AWS charges while the instance is stopped. You resume software billing when you start the instance again.
What is included in the image, and what compliance frameworks does it align with?
The hourly rate covers a security-hardened Rocky Linux 9 image at Level 2 Advanced. It ships pre-configured to align with common security and compliance frameworks, including DISA STIG, PCI-DSS, HIPAA, and NIST controls. Images are validated and updated regularly with security patches, not a one-time snapshot.

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.
