    This is a repackaged open source software product wherein additional charges apply for seller hardening and maintenance. Oracle Linux 9 Hardened AMI with SELinux, SSH hardening, fail2ban, CloudWatch Agent, AIDE, chrony, SSM Agent and AWS CLI v2.

    Overview

    This is a repackaged open source software product wherein additional charges apply for seller-applied security hardening, preconfiguration, and maintenance.

    This Oracle Linux 9 Hardened AMI delivers a production-ready foundation engineered for organizations that require a stronger security posture and operational readiness from the first boot.

    The image incorporates a carefully selected set of security enhancements, including SELinux in enforcing mode, hardened SSH configuration with key-based authentication only and root login disabled, and fail2ban protection against brute-force attacks. File integrity monitoring is provided through AIDE, which is pre-initialized to detect unauthorized changes to critical system components.

    To support cloud-native operations, the AMI comes with Amazon CloudWatch Agent pre-installed and pre-configured for metrics and log collection, AWS Systems Manager (SSM) Agent, and AWS CLI v2. Accurate time synchronization is ensured through chrony, while cloud-optimized sysctl parameters improve network and memory behavior under typical EC2 workloads.

    A lightweight system status utility (ol9-status) is included to give administrators immediate visibility into the health of key services and security controls.

    Together, these technical additions provide a more secure, observable, and operationally prepared Oracle Linux 9 baseline than a standard distribution image -ready for production workloads on Amazon EC2.

    Highlights

    • Security-hardened baseline: SELinux enforcing, SSH key-only access, root login disabled, fail2ban protection
    • Pre-configured Amazon CloudWatch Agent for metrics and log collection out of the box AIDE (File Integrity Monitoring) initialized for change detection on critical system files
    • AWS integration ready: SSM Agent and AWS CLI v2 pre-installed Cloud-optimized sysctl tuning and ol9-status utility for quick system health checks

     Info

    Dimensions summary

    You pay by the hour for a hardened Oracle Linux 9.7 image with vendor support. Pricing is usage-based, so you are billed only for the hours each instance runs. Each dimension maps to a specific AWS EC2 instance type, from small burstable options like t2.nano and t3.micro to large memory, compute, storage, and GPU instances. The hourly software rate scales with the size and family of the instance you choose. You select the instance type that fits your workload, and the AWS infrastructure cost is billed separately by AWS.

    Top-of-mind questions for buyers

    One hourly charge covers the hardened Oracle Linux 9.7 software license plus vendor support for a single running instance of that exact EC2 type. Each dimension maps to one instance size and family. You pay the rate for every hour that instance runs, counted per instance.
    The hourly software rate meters running time only. A stopped or paused instance does not accrue the software charge. Underlying AWS infrastructure fees, such as attached storage, may still apply and are billed separately by AWS.
    Two charges apply per running hour: the vendor software rate for the chosen instance type, and the separate AWS infrastructure cost for that instance. They bill independently and appear together on your AWS invoice. Choosing a size sets both rates.

    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.

    Additional details

    Usage instructions

    Once the instance is running, connect to it using a Secure Shell (SSH) client with the configured SSH key. The default username is 'cloud-user'. Further instructions available here: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/AccessingInstancesLinux.html 

    Info regarding virtual machines The operating system does not save any sensitive information for the customers. The customer is responsible for saving any information, sensitive or not. The data saved on the volumes is not encrypted by default. All instance authentication must use key pair access, not password-based authentication. AMIs does not contain passwords, authentication keys, key pairs, security keys, or other credentials. PasswordAuthentication is set to NO in sshd_config. The application does not make use of any encryption techniques.

    Troubleshooting Navigate to your Amazon EC2 console and verify that you're in the correct region. Choose Instance and select your launched instance. Select the server to display your metadata page and choose the Status checks tab at the bottom of the page to review if your status checks passed or failed. Or Select monitor an troubleshoot and select get system log to see the system log or select get instance screenshot to see state of your screen at the current time
