This product has charges associated with it for image hardening, maintenance, and support. OpenSearch on Amazon Linux 2023, security-hardened for production: minimal package set, SSH key-only access, IMDSv2-only, bound to loopback with no demo certificates or default passwords anywhere (install and configure the security plugin before any remote exposure), and continuously patched images.
Overview
OpenSearch (Hardened) on Amazon Linux 2023 is a production-ready, security-hardened image of the OpenSearch search and analytics suite, maintained and supported by Derek Coleman & Associates Inc.
This is repackaged open-source software. OpenSearch is a Linux Foundation project distributed under the Apache License 2.0. This product bundles unmodified upstream OpenSearch on a hardened Amazon Linux 2023 base; the charges associated with this listing are for image hardening, continuous patching, vulnerability scanning, and business-day support - not for the underlying open-source software, which remains free.
Hardening baseline: minimal package footprint, SSH key-only access (password authentication disabled), IMDSv2 enforced, and OpenSearch bound to 127.0.0.1 in single-node mode. The security plugin is not bundled (it ships with demo certificates and shaded dependencies that fail our vulnerability gate) - installing it (bin/opensearch-plugin install opensearch-security), configuring certificates, users, and TLS, and opening port 9200 to trusted CIDRs is a deliberate customer step before any remote exposure. Images are rebuilt, scanned for HIGH and CRITICAL vulnerabilities, and republished on a regular cadence so that new launches start current. Manage the service with systemd: sudo systemctl restart opensearch.
Highlights
- Security-hardened at build time: minimal packages, key-only SSH, IMDSv2-only, loopback-only, no demo certificates or default passwords anywhere.
- Continuously patched: rebuilt, vulnerability-scanned, and republished on a regular cadence.
- Production-ready: systemd-managed OpenSearch with bundled JDK; vm.max_map_count preconfigured; single-node mode out of the box.

c7i.xlarge | $0.46 |
c7i.4xlarge | $1.84 |
Dimensions summary
You pay by the hour based on the EC2 instance size you run. All three dimensions cover the same hardened OpenSearch image on Amazon Linux 2023, differing only in compute capacity. The c7i.xlarge, c7i.2xlarge, and c7i.4xlarge options scale up in vCPU and memory as you move from the smaller to the larger instance. Software fees accrue only while an instance runs, metered by AWS. The underlying compute, storage, and network you consume are billed separately by AWS under your own account.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
Each dimension maps to one running EC2 instance of that size. The c7i.xlarge gives you 4 vCPUs, the c7i.2xlarge gives you 8 vCPUs, and the c7i.4xlarge gives you 16 vCPUs, with memory scaling alongside. You pick the size that fits your OpenSearch workload.
Software fees accrue only while an instance runs, metered by AWS. A fully stopped instance stops accruing software charges. Stopped instances may still incur AWS storage fees for attached volumes, but the software licence meters running time only.
No. The hourly software fee covers only the hardened OpenSearch licence. Compute, storage, and network the software consumes are billed separately by AWS under your own account. The two charges appear on the same AWS invoice but are metered independently.

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.

Usage instructions
Launch from AWS Marketplace (1-Click or EC2 console). Connect via SSH: ssh -i <key> ec2-user@<public-ip>. OpenSearch listens on 127.0.0.1:9200 in single-node mode; verify with: curl http://127.0.0.1:9200 . The security plugin is not bundled - install it with: sudo -u opensearch /usr/share/opensearch/bin/opensearch-plugin install opensearch-security, configure certificates and users, then open 9200 to trusted CIDRs. Root login is disabled; use sudo. There are no passwords anywhere in this product.
