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

Dimensions summary
You pay by the hour for this hardened Oracle Linux image, with the rate set by the AWS EC2 instance type you run. Each dimension maps to one instance type, so there are no tiers or add-ons to choose. Pricing scales with the size and family of the instance. Smaller general-purpose types like t2.micro cost less per hour, while large memory, compute, storage, and accelerated types such as metal and GPU instances cost more. You select the instance that fits your workload, and billing follows your actual running hours.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
You get a hardened Oracle Linux 9.7 image with log monitoring, file integrity checking, and a security baseline applied. The hourly software charge covers this preconfigured image. Your AWS EC2 compute charge for the chosen instance type is separate and billed by AWS.
The hourly software charge applies only while the instance runs. A fully stopped instance stops accruing software charges. Stopped instances may still incur AWS storage fees for attached volumes, but those come from AWS, not from the software license, which meters running hours only.
Each running instance is billed per hour at the rate tied to its specific instance type. Size and family set the rate, not a flat per-instance count. A metal or GPU type costs more per hour than a small general-purpose type. Running several instances bills each one separately.

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
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
