This is a repackaged open source software product wherein additional charges apply for image hardening, maintenance, and support. HAProxy on Amazon Linux 2023, security-hardened for production: minimal package set, SSH key-only access, IMDSv2-only, firewall pre-configured for HTTP/HTTPS, and continuously patched images.
Overview
HAProxy (Hardened) on Amazon Linux 2023 is a production-ready, security-hardened image of the HAProxy load balancer and reverse proxy, maintained and supported by Derek Coleman & Associates Inc.
This is repackaged open-source software. HAProxy is developed by HAProxy Technologies and the HAProxy community and is distributed under the GNU General Public License v2. This product bundles unmodified upstream HAProxy 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, host firewall pre-configured to expose only the load-balancer ports, and no default credentials anywhere. Images are rebuilt, scanned for HIGH and CRITICAL vulnerabilities, and republished on a regular cadence so that new launches start current. Configure your frontends and backends in /etc/haproxy/haproxy.cfg and manage the service with systemd.
Highlights
- Production-ready: systemd-managed HAProxy; the shipped config is syntax-validated at build; drop in your backends under /etc/haproxy.
- Security-hardened at build time: minimal packages, key-only SSH, IMDSv2-only, firewall enabled with only web ports open.
- Continuously patched: images are rebuilt, vulnerability-scanned, and republished on a regular cadence so new launches start current.

Pricing
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.
Additional AWS infrastructure costs may apply. Use the AWS Pricing Calculator to estimate your infrastructure costs.
Dimension | Cost/hour |
|---|---|
c7i.xlarge Recommended | $0.46 |
c7i.4xlarge | $1.84 |
c7i.2xlarge | $0.92 |
Dimensions summary
You pay by the hour based on the EC2 instance size you launch. The three dimensions map to compute sizes: c7i.xlarge (4 vCPU / 8 GiB), c7i.2xlarge (8 vCPU / 16 GiB), and c7i.4xlarge (16 vCPU / 32 GiB). Larger instances carry a higher hourly software rate. Pick the size that fits your throughput needs; the software function is the same across all three. Charges stop when you terminate the instance. There is no subscription and no minimum. AWS infrastructure charges are billed separately by AWS.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
The hourly software charge covers image hardening, continuous patching, vulnerability scanning, and business-day support. The underlying HAProxy load balancer stays free open-source software. You do not pay a license fee for HAProxy itself, only for the maintenance and support layered on the hardened image.
The software charge accrues per running instance-hour. Charges stop when you terminate the instance. There is no subscription and no minimum. Note that a stopped instance may still incur AWS storage fees for its EBS volume, which AWS bills separately from the software charge.
A single instance uses one EC2 instance and one gp3 EBS volume. No other AWS resources are created. AWS bills the infrastructure charges separately from the hourly software charge, and those charges vary with the instance size and volume you launch.

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.
