DISA STIG-aligned RHEL 8 AMI with SELinux enforcing, IMDSv2 required, and OpenSCAP validation. Optimized for cloud workloads. Requires Red Hat subscription.
Overview
Kryden Solutions provides STIG-aligned cloud images that give you a head start on OS security hardening. This RHEL 8 AMI applies 170+ DISA STIG rules with selective exceptions for AWS cloud workload compatibility. Includes SELinux enforcing, IMDSv2 enforced, SSH key-based authentication only, root login disabled, comprehensive audit rules, and kernel hardening (ASLR, kexec disabled, symlink/hardlink protection). Container-friendly - user namespaces and IP forwarding are enabled to support Docker, Podman, and Kubernetes. STIG controls map directly to NIST SP 800-53, providing a baseline toward FedRAMP, FISMA, NIST 800-171, CMMC, and other compliance frameworks. Weekly rebuilds from the latest RHEL base images ensure up-to-date security patches. Requires AWS Nitro-based instances (T3, M5, C5, R5, M6i, C6i, R6i families). A Red Hat subscription is required separately. Note: FIPS mode is not enabled as it requires subscription-only packages.
