Rocky Linux 8 AMI with baseline operating system and the latest OS and security patches applied.
Overview
Rocky Linux OS is an open-source Linux operating system binary compatible with RHEL and it was born out of the void created by the discontinuation of CentOS Linux. Kurian recommends this Linux distribution as one of the options for our CentOS customers to switch to; the other option is AlmaLinux.
The Linux operating system AMIs released by Kurian are patched and up-to-date on the day of the release, and the updates are published quarterly. These production grade AMIs are ideal for use with automated provisioning processes such as that in an autoscale group without having to worry about applying the patches and the delays involved in doing that.
Based on this baseline operating system release, Kurian has released pre-configured software applications such as Wordpress, Jenkins, databases, LAMP stack, Ansible, DevOps tools, and monitoring applications that are widely used by system administrators and DevOps engineers. For selected Linux distributions hardened images based on the CIS benchmark are also available. The Kurian AMIs are built following official installation steps so you do not need to learn any custom procedures.
Highlights
- Baseline AMI based on official distribution of the OS image.
- Ideal for use with automated provisioning processes for quicker availability of the node.
- Production grade AMI built with the latest Linux operating system patches applied.

Dimensions summary
You pay by the hour for the EC2 instance type you run this Rocky Linux 8 image on. Pricing is not tiered. Instead, each dimension maps to a specific AWS instance type, from small burstable sizes like t3.nano and t2.micro up to large compute, memory, storage, and accelerated instances such as u-24tb1.metal and p4d.24xlarge. Your hourly rate scales with the instance you choose, so software cost tracks the size and family of the machine. Charges accrue only for the hours each instance runs. The included OS and security patches apply across all instance types.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
One unit is one running EC2 instance of the type you pick, billed per hour. The rate covers the Rocky Linux 8 operating system plus its OS and security patches on that machine. Each instance you launch meters its own hours separately.
The software charge accrues only for hours an instance runs. When you stop or terminate an instance, the hourly software charge stops. Stopped instances may still incur AWS storage fees for attached volumes, but those are separate from this listing's software meter.
The image ships patched and up to date on its release day, and updates publish each quarter. This suits automated provisioning like auto-scale groups, where new machines start already patched. Between quarterly releases, you manage any further updates on your running instances.

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.
