Overview
This is a repackaged software product wherein additional charges apply for hardening. This AWS-based EC2 comes pre-configured with the latest SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 16 image, optimized for security and featuring advanced hardening measures to help protect against vulnerabilities and to help ensure compliance with PCI DSS best practices.
Implementing PCI DSS benchmarks can help organizations improve their security posture and protect against advanced and persistent threats.
PCI DSS is an internationally recognized security compliance standard that helps organizations protect sensitive data and maintain a secure environment. It is widely adopted across retail, financial, healthcare, and service provider industries as a foundation for strong cybersecurity practices. Beyond compliance, PCI DSS serves as a valuable guide for implementing security best practices that help organizations protect sensitive information within their IT environments.
Key features:
Compliance and Trust: Adhering to PCI DSS benchmarks not only helps organizations meet regulatory requirements but also fosters trust among customers and partners. Demonstrating PCI DSS compliance signals a commitment to security, which can enhance the reputation and credibility of a business in the eyes of consumers and stakeholders.
Enhanced Security Posture: PCI DSS provides a robust framework for identifying and mitigating security risks. By following these guidelines, organizations can reduce vulnerabilities and strengthen their overall security posture, making it more difficult for attackers to compromise sensitive data. This proactive approach to security helps prevent costly data breaches and the associated legal and financial repercussions.

Dimensions summary
You pay by the hour for the running software, billed per EC2 instance type you choose. Each dimension maps to a specific instance size, from small burstable types like t3.nano up to large compute, memory, storage, and GPU-optimized types like m8a.16xlarge or p5.4xlarge. The hourly rate scales with the instance's size and hardware family. You pick the instance that matches your workload, and billing follows actual usage hours. The hardened operating system charge applies on top of standard AWS infrastructure costs.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
The charge covers the security-hardened SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 16 image configured for PCI DSS compliance. These images ship pre-validated with hardening and compliance settings and receive regular security patches. The software charge is separate from the underlying AWS compute and storage costs for the instance you run.
The software charge meters running instance-hours only. A stopped or powered-off instance does not accrue the hourly software fee. You may still incur underlying AWS storage fees for attached volumes while the instance is stopped, but the hardened OS charge applies only to running time.
Each dimension maps to one EC2 instance type. The rate reflects that instance's hardware family and size, from small burstable types like t3.nano to large compute, memory, storage, and GPU-optimized types like m8a.16xlarge or p5.4xlarge. You pick the instance matching your workload, and billing follows its hourly rate.
