    Jaeger - Hardened Self-Hosted Distributed Tracing (OpenTelemetry)

    This product has charges associated with it for hardening, security configuration, and support. Jaeger is the CNCF-graduated distributed tracing platform, shipped here as a single self-contained Go binary that runs the collector, query service and web UI together (all-in-one). Unlike bare Jaeger AMIs that expose the query UI with no authentication, bind every port to all interfaces, and lose traces on restart with in-memory storage, this Lynxroute build is ready out of the box: an nginx TLS perimeter with HTTP basic auth generated at first boot, the query UI bound to loopback, persistent local Badger storage, OTLP ingest on dedicated ports, UFW firewall pre-configured, and a CIS Level 1 hardened Ubuntu 24.04 LTS base. Apache-2.0 license - fully auditable, no vendor lock-in.

    Overview

    This is a repackaged software product wherein additional charges apply for hardening, security configuration, and support.

    WHAT IS JAEGER

    Jaeger is a CNCF-graduated, open-source distributed tracing platform used to monitor and troubleshoot transactions across microservices. This image runs Jaeger v2 as a single self-contained Go binary in all-in-one mode: an OpenTelemetry-native collector, a query service, and a React web UI in one process. Applications send spans over OTLP (gRPC on 4317, HTTP on 4318); operators search traces, inspect service dependency graphs, view Gantt-style timelines, and perform root-cause and latency analysis in the UI. Traces are persisted locally with an embedded Badger key-value store, so they survive restarts and reboots with a configurable retention window. Any OpenTelemetry SDK or Collector can export to it, and the same image scales out to Cassandra or Elasticsearch backends when volume grows. Apache-2.0 license, no vendor lock-in.

    WHAT THIS AMI ADDS

    Security hardening:

    • HTTP basic-auth credentials generated at first boot - no anonymous access to the UI
    • nginx TLS perimeter on 443, self-signed at build, one command to a CA-signed certificate
    • Query UI, query gRPC, health and metrics endpoints bound to 127.0.0.1 only
    • Persistent Badger storage (not the default ephemeral in-memory store)
    • UFW firewall - SSH 22, HTTPS 443, OTLP 4317/4318 only
    • fail2ban, AppArmor
    • CVE scan - every image is scanned for vulnerabilities before release

    OS hardening (CIS Level 1):

    • CIS Ubuntu 24.04 LTS Level 1 benchmark applied via ansible-lockdown
    • auditd, SSH hardening, Kernel hardening, IMDSv2 enforced

    Compliance artifacts:

    • SBOM - CycloneDX 1.6 at /etc/lynxroute/sbom.json
    • CIS Conformance Report at /etc/lynxroute/cis-report.html
    • CIS Tailored Profile at /usr/share/doc/lynxroute/CIS_TAILORED_PROFILE.md

    Highlights

    • Jaeger security baked in: HTTP basic-auth password generated at first boot, nginx TLS perimeter on 443, query UI and admin endpoints bound to loopback only - unlike bare Jaeger AMIs that serve the query UI with no authentication and bind every port to all interfaces.
    • CIS Level 1 hardened Ubuntu 24.04 LTS: auditd, fail2ban, AppArmor, SSH key-only, IMDSv2 enforced. CVE-scanned before every release. SBOM (CycloneDX) and CIS Conformance Report included.
    • OpenTelemetry-native tracing: OTLP gRPC and HTTP ingest, trace search, service dependency graphs and latency analysis, with persistent local Badger storage that survives reboots. Apache-2.0 license - fully auditable, no vendor lock-in.

    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.

    Additional details

    Usage instructions

    1. Launch instance (t3.medium recommended; t3.small minimum)
    2. Open Security Group - allow TCP 443 from your IP (Jaeger UI). Allow TCP 4317 (OTLP gRPC) and TCP 4318 (OTLP HTTP) only from the subnets or security groups of the services that send traces; keep both OTLP ports closed to the public internet.
    3. SSH: ssh -i key.pem ubuntu@<PUBLIC_IP>
    4. Read credentials: sudo cat /root/jaeger-credentials.txt
    5. Open https://<PUBLIC_IP>/ in your browser - accept the self-signed certificate warning
    6. Authenticate with HTTP Basic Auth: user "admin", password from the credentials file
    7. Point your application's OpenTelemetry exporter at this instance: OTLP gRPC at <PUBLIC_IP>:4317 or OTLP HTTP at http://<PUBLIC_IP>:4318. Traces appear in the UI Search view within seconds.

    The admin password for the web UI is generated at first boot and saved to /root/jaeger-credentials.txt. Traces are persisted locally with Badger at /var/lib/jaeger/badger and survive reboots (default retention 7 days). This single-node image targets development, testing and small-team environments; for high-volume production configure Cassandra or Elasticsearch in /etc/jaeger/config.yaml. Replace the self-signed TLS certificate with a CA-signed certificate for production use: sudo certbot --nginx -d YOUR_DOMAIN
