This is a repackaged open source software product wherein additional charges apply (PAYG) for Extended Security Updates - which extends the 6 month minor version lifecycle to at least six years, FIPS 140-3 validated cryptographic modules, and access to TuxCare's award winning Enterprise Support for AlmaLinux.
Highlights
Enduring security and compliance for FIPS-validated deployments that extends the lifecycle of specific AlmaLinux minor versions.
Long-term High and Critical security updates + full suite of five FIPS-validated modules (kernel, OpenSSL, libcrypt, nss and gnutls)
Re-certification for cryptographic CVEs (much faster than the general FIPS 140-3 certification process)
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 Extended Security Updates on AlmaLinux 9.2, including FIPS-validated cryptographic modules and ongoing security patching. Pricing is usage-based, so you are billed only for the hours each instance runs. The dimensions map directly to EC2 instance types across several families, including general-purpose (m5, m5a, m5d, m5n, m5dn, m5ad, m5zn), compute-optimized (c5, c5a, c5d, c5n, c5ad), and burstable (t2, t3, t3a). Within each family, the hourly rate scales with instance size, from small sizes up to metal. Choose the instance type matching your workload; no upfront commitment applies.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
What does one hourly unit cover for each instance type?
Each hourly unit covers the Extended Security Updates license running on one matching EC2 instance for one hour. You pick the dimension that matches your instance type and size. The license meters alongside that instance. Larger sizes and metal options carry different hourly rates reflecting their capacity.
Am I charged when an instance is stopped or powered off?
The license meters running hours only. A fully stopped or powered-off instance does not accrue software charges. Charges resume when the instance runs again. Underlying AWS storage or other infrastructure fees are separate and may still apply while an instance is stopped.
What do these Extended Security Updates include for AlmaLinux 9.2?
The service provides FIPS 140-3 validated cryptographic modules for AlmaLinux 9.2, including the kernel and OpenSSL, plus ongoing security patches that keep validation status aligned. It also supports compliance needs such as CIS and STIG hardening. AlmaLinux 9.2 left Foundation support, so this coverage extends security updates.

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.
