Docker Engine is the underlying technology behind Docker, providing a lightweight virtualization solution to run, create, and manage containers, which encapsulate applications with their dependencies in a portable environment. This is crucial because it simplifies development, supports CI/CD methodologies by ensuring consistency between development and production environments, reduces conflicts between teams working on different parts of a project, and streamlines deployment processes, making it easier to scale and maintain applications across diverse infrastructures.
This image comes meticulously preconfigured by Hardened Images, adhering to the Security Technical Implementation Guides (STIG), which set the gold standard for secure configuration. These guidelines are vendor-neutral, developed through a collaborative, consensus-based approach, and recognized by government, business, industry, and academia alike. Importantly, STIG standards also serve as a robust foundation for compliance with a wide range of cybersecurity frameworks. Tailored for system and application administrators, security experts, auditors, help desk staff, and platform deployment professionals, this image is optimized for those looking to develop, deploy, evaluate, or secure applications leveraging this Linux system. It significantly enhances operational efficiency, while also mitigating time, cost, and risk associated with deploying your organization's AWS solutions.
As a trusted consulting ally for small to medium-sized businesses, Hardened Images empowers you to establish and maintain a secure presence in the cloud. We are your dedicated experts in cloud virtual machines, enabling you to commence your projects with the assurance of top-tier security.

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.
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.
You pay by the hour for Docker running on a hardened Rocky Linux 9 image built for ARM-based processors. Pricing is not tiered. Instead, each dimension maps to one AWS EC2 instance type, and you pick the one matching your needs. Options span many instance families, including general-purpose, compute-optimized, memory-optimized, storage-optimized, GPU, and high-performance computing types. Sizes range from nano and micro up through metal instances. The hourly software rate scales with the size and family of the instance you choose. This charge is separate from your AWS infrastructure costs.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
What do I get for the hourly rate on a chosen instance type?
You get Docker preinstalled on a hardened Rocky Linux 9 image built for ARM-based processors. The image is configured to STIG security recommendations to reduce system vulnerabilities. The hardware capacity depends on which EC2 instance type you pick, since each dimension maps to one specific instance.
Am I charged the hourly software rate when my instance is stopped?
The software charge meters running time. Fully stopped instances do not accrue the hourly software fee. Stopped instances may still incur AWS storage costs for attached volumes, but those are separate from this software charge. Charges resume when the instance runs again.
Does the hourly price cover my AWS infrastructure, or is that billed separately?
The hourly rate you see covers only the software license for the hardened image. Your AWS compute, storage, and network usage bill separately through AWS. Both charges appear on your AWS invoice but are calculated independently.

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.
