This is a repackaged software product wherein additional charges apply for hardening. This AWS-based ec2 comes pre-configured with the latest ROCKY Linux 9 image that is optimized for security, featuring advanced hardening measures to help protect against vulnerabilities and ensure compliance with industry best practices.
This configuration includes stringent access controls, regular updates, and robust settings to enhance overall system integrity and resilience.
Implementing this foundational hardened image can help organizations establish a baseline level of security and reduce their risk exposure to common cyber threats. However, it's important to note that these benchmarks should be considered as a starting point, and organizations may need to customize them based on their specific security requirements and risk profile.
Key features:
This hardened image map to many established standards and regulatory frameworks, including the NIST Cybersecurity Framework (CSF), the ISO 27000 series of standards, PCI DSS, HIPAA, and others.
Hardening is a process that helps protect against unauthorized access, denial of service, and other cyberthreats by limiting potential weaknesses that make systems vulnerable to cyberattacks.

You pay by the hour for this hardened Rocky Linux 9 image, which runs on AWS EC2 instances. The price depends only on which EC2 instance type you choose to launch. Each dimension maps to one instance size, from small general-purpose types to large compute, memory, storage, and GPU-optimized types. Larger instances with more CPU, memory, or specialized hardware carry higher hourly rates. There are no tiers or feature bundles to compare. You match the instance to your workload, and your software cost scales with the instance you run.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
What does the hourly rate cover beyond the EC2 instance itself?
The hourly rate covers the software license for the hardened Rocky Linux 9 image with Level 1: Foundational security configuration. You pay separately for the underlying AWS EC2 compute and any storage. Each dimension bills per running hour of the instance type you launch.
Am I charged the hourly software fee when my instance is stopped?
The software fee meters running hours only. A stopped instance does not accrue the hourly software charge. You may still pay AWS for attached storage while the instance is stopped, but that is separate from this listing's per-hour software rate.
What security standards does the Level 1: Foundational hardening align with?
The image is built to meet recognized security frameworks, including DISA STIG, PCI-DSS, HIPAA, and NIST controls. The vendor validates and updates the image regularly with security patches. This same hardened configuration applies to every instance type you select.

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.
