This product has charges associated with it 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.
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 Incorporated.
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
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.
Production-ready: systemd-managed HAProxy; the shipped config is syntax-validated at build; drop in your backends under /etc/haproxy.
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.
You pay by the hour for a running instance, and your rate depends on which compute size you launch. The three options — c7i.xlarge, c7i.2xlarge, and c7i.4xlarge — represent the same hardened HAProxy software on different EC2 instance sizes. Each step up moves you to a larger instance with more vCPUs, so the hourly software fee scales with the size you pick. Fees accrue only while an instance runs. The AWS-side compute, storage, and network you consume are billed separately by AWS under your own account.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
What do I get with each instance size, and how are the hourly options counted?
Each option runs the same hardened HAProxy image on a different EC2 compute size. The c7i.xlarge, c7i.2xlarge, and c7i.4xlarge step up in vCPUs and memory. You pick one size, and the software fee is metered per running instance-hour on that size.
Am I charged when the instance is stopped, for example a standby load balancer?
Usage-based 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 those are billed separately by AWS under your own account.
What is included in the software fee, and what does AWS bill separately?
The software fee covers the hardened HAProxy image, hardening, and updates published to the Marketplace. Compute, storage, and network that the instance consumes are billed separately by AWS under your own account. The software runs entirely in your environment, under your IAM and VPC controls.

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.
Version release notes
