This product includes charges for the pre-configured compliance and security setup, along with ongoing image maintenance. HIPAA-compliant Red Hat 10 is designed to help organizations meet the rigorous privacy and security requirements of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), safeguarding protected health information (PHI) in the cloud.
Overview
This Red Hat 10 virtual machine image is fully preconfigured to meet HIPAA compliance requirements and deploys in minutes. It eliminates the weeks of manual hardening and configuration typically required with a baseline operating system and delivers hundreds of tested security controls out of the box, providing a proven secure foundation for workloads handling protected health information (PHI).
The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act HIPAA sets national standards for the protection of sensitive patient data. HIPAA compliance ensures that systems handling PHI implement the necessary administrative, physical, and technical safeguards to maintain the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of health information. This is critical for healthcare providers, insurers, and any organization that stores, processes, or transmits PHI. Meeting HIPAA requirements on a baseline operating system can take significant time and specialized expertise.
This preconfigured Red Hat 10 image accelerates compliance by delivering a secure, HIPAA-aligned environment from the moment it launches. It reduces risk from misconfiguration, saves engineering resources, and provides a tested, compliant foundation from day one.
Foundation Security images are updated regularly to keep pace with evolving security threats and compliance requirements, ensuring workloads remain protected over time. This offering is ideal for healthcare organizations, life sciences companies, and any business that must safeguard sensitive health data while meeting audit and regulatory requirements.
Foundation Security has a team of industry experts with deep knowledge of HIPAA, NIST, and other compliance frameworks, ensuring every image is built and maintained to the highest security standards. The team also provides ongoing support to help customers maintain compliance and adapt to evolving regulations. Foundation Security is a proud AWS Partner exclusively focused on helping organizations achieve compliance with HIPAA, NIST, and STIG standards.

Dimensions summary
You pay by the hour for a hardened, HIPAA-compliant Red Hat Enterprise Linux 10 image. Pricing is usage-based, so you are charged only for the hours each instance runs. Each dimension maps to a specific EC2 instance type, from small general-purpose sizes to large memory-, compute-, storage-, and GPU-optimized machines, plus bare-metal options. The hourly software rate scales with the instance you pick, since larger instances carry more compute, memory, or accelerator capacity. Choose the instance type that fits your workload, and combine it with the matching AWS infrastructure charges.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
The software rate meters running instance-hours only. Fully stopped instances do not accrue software charges. You are billed for the hours each instance actually runs. Stopped instances may still incur separate AWS storage fees, but those are AWS infrastructure charges, not the software license.
Each rate covers the hardened, HIPAA-compliant Red Hat Enterprise Linux 10 software license for one running instance of that EC2 type. The instance type sets the compute, memory, and accelerator capacity. AWS bills the underlying hardware separately, so your total cost combines both charges.
There is no automatic upgrade. You select the instance type when you launch. Each type carries its own fixed hourly software rate. Moving to a machine with more compute, memory, or GPU capacity means launching that instance type and paying its listed rate for the hours it runs.

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.

Usage instructions
Quick Start
Launch your Red Hat 10 instance and connect using SSH on port 22. The default username is ec2-user.
Example: ssh -i /path/to/your-key.pem ec2-user@<public-ip-address>
For step-by-step instructions, see: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/AccessingInstances.html
For improved security, we recommend connecting through AWS Systems Manager Session Manager when possible: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/systems-manager/latest/userguide/session-manager.html
If you connect over SSH, configure your security group to allow access only from your trusted IP address.
This image has been fully hardened with HIPAA-aligned controls applied and validated before release. No additional hardening steps are required after launch.
Once connected, you can immediately begin installing and running your applications on a secure HIPAA compliant baseline.
