Pre-configured Container Management on Ubuntu 22.04 LTS
This is a repackaged open source software product wherein additional charges apply for the pre-configured container management environment and ongoing maintenance of this image.
This AMI from Madarson IT delivers a production-ready Ubuntu 22.04 LTS environment with Podman, Buildah, and Skopeo pre-installed, configured, and optimized for secure, daemonless container workflows on AWS EC2. Instead of spending time installing and configuring container tools manually, launch this image and begin running rootless containers immediately.
Key Features
- Ubuntu 22.04 LTS Foundation: Long-term support from Canonical with regular security updates, stability, and performance through 2027.
- Podman (Rootless, Daemonless): Run containers without a central daemon or root privileges, reducing the attack surface compared to traditional Docker-based setups.
- Buildah for Image Building: Build OCI-compliant container images from scratch or from Dockerfiles without requiring a running daemon or elevated privileges.
- Skopeo for Image Transfer: Inspect, copy, and sign container images across registries - including Amazon ECR - without pulling full images locally.
- Docker CLI Compatibility: Use familiar Docker commands and Dockerfile syntax, enabling teams migrating from Docker to adopt rootless containers without rewriting workflows.
- OCI Standards Compliance: All tools adhere to Open Container Initiative standards, ensuring portability across container runtimes and registries.
Optimizations Included in This Image
This is not a default Ubuntu installation with packages added via apt. Madarson IT has configured this image with:
- Pre-built rootless user namespace configuration for immediate unprivileged container execution
- Optimized storage driver settings for container layer management
- Security-hardened defaults that minimize listening network services
- Pre-configured container registries including Amazon ECR integration readiness
- Reduced image footprint by removing unnecessary packages and services
Use Cases
- CI/CD Pipelines: Platform engineers building container images in automated pipelines can use Buildah to create images and Skopeo to push them to Amazon ECR - all without Docker or elevated privileges.
- Microservices Deployment: Teams running distributed applications on EC2 can launch isolated, rootless containers with Podman, reducing the blast radius of any single container compromise.
- Docker Migration: Organizations moving away from Docker Desktop licensing can transition to Podman with full Docker CLI compatibility while gaining rootless security benefits.
- Multi-Registry Image Management: DevOps teams managing images across multiple registries can use Skopeo to inspect and copy images without downloading full layers.
Supported Environment
- Architecture: x86_64 (AMD64)
- Recommended Instance Types: t3.small or larger for development workloads; t3.medium or larger for production container builds
- Minimum Root Volume: 20 GB EBS
- Access: SSH (port 22) with your EC2 key pair
Getting Started
- Launch the AMI from AWS Marketplace on your chosen EC2 instance type
- Connect via SSH using your key pair
- Verify the installation by running: podman --version, buildah --version, skopeo --version
- Run your first rootless container: podman run --rm hello-world
- Build your first image: buildah bud -t my-app .

Highlights
- Rootless, Daemonless Security by Default: This AMI runs Podman without a central daemon or root privileges, eliminating an entire class of container escape vulnerabilities. Ships with minimized listening network services and pre-configured user namespaces for immediate unprivileged container execution - security-hardened defaults applied out of the box, reducing your configuration burden from day one.
- Docker-Compatible CLI with Zero Migration Friction: Teams transitioning from Docker can use familiar commands and Dockerfile syntax without rewriting workflows. Podman accepts Docker CLI commands directly, Buildah processes standard Dockerfiles, and Skopeo works with any OCI-compliant registry including Amazon ECR - enabling rootless container security without retraining developers or modifying pipelines.
- Complete Container Lifecycle on a Single Instance: Build images with Buildah, run and manage containers with Podman, and transfer images across registries with Skopeo - all pre-installed on Ubuntu 22.04 LTS. Eliminates manual tool installation and configuration, letting platform engineers and DevOps teams launch the AMI and begin containerized workflows immediately on EC2 instances as small as t3.small.

Dimensions summary
You pay by the hour for a security-hardened Ubuntu 22.04 LTS image pre-loaded with container tools. Pricing is not tiered by feature. Instead, each dimension maps to a specific AWS EC2 instance type, so your rate depends on the compute size you run. Options span general-purpose (t2, t3, m4, m5a), compute-optimized (c5, c5a), memory-optimized (r5a), and GPU instances (g3, p2, p3). Smaller instances like t3.nano and t3.micro cost less per hour; larger ones like p3.16xlarge cost more. You choose the instance that fits your workload and scale up or down as needed.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
Each dimension bills per hour of running time for a single EC2 instance of that type. One unit equals one instance-hour. Running one instance for ten hours counts as ten units. The rate reflects the compute size you launch, not the number of container images you build.
The software charge meters running hours only. A fully stopped instance stops accruing this hourly software fee. You may still pay underlying AWS storage costs for attached volumes while the instance sits stopped. Charges resume when you start the instance again.
Every instance size runs the same security-hardened Ubuntu 22.04 LTS image with container tooling pre-configured. The image ships ready to build and manage container images without extra setup. Your chosen dimension only changes the compute size and hourly rate, not the included software.
