This is a repackaged open source software product wherein additional charges apply for a hardened, minimal RHEL 10.1 ARM64 image: SELinux enforcing, root login disabled, key-only SSH, audit rules, PAM lockout and sysctl hardening, each verified on a booted instance. 10GB size (no LVM), UEFI/GPT, cloud-init, ENA and NVMe, RHUI.
Overview
This is a repackaged open source software product wherein additional charges apply for a hardened, minimal Red Hat Enterprise Linux 10.1 ARM64 image built and verified by Rinne Labs.
What you are paying for
Red Hat Enterprise Linux is assembled from free and open source software. This listing charges neither for the operating system nor for support.
The charge covers the hardened build: a security baseline applied to the image at build time, an automated assertion suite that proves every control of that baseline is live on a booted instance before the image is published, and continued rebuilds carrying current security updates.
Hardening baseline
Every control below is applied at build time and verified by an automated assertion against a booted instance before publication. The image records the baseline it carries in a versioned marker at /etc/rinne-labs-hardening.
- SELinux enforcing, at runtime and persistently across reboots
- Root login over SSH disabled
- Key-only SSH: password and keyboard-interactive authentication refused
- Reduced SSH surface: X11 forwarding off, lowered MaxAuthTries and LoginGraceTime, empty passwords and host-based authentication refused
- Kernel network hardening via sysctl, confirmed live in the running kernel
- Audit rules loaded in the running kernel, auditd enabled at boot
- Account lockout via pam_faillock, with a bounded unlock interval and root exempt
- Password quality enforcement via pam_pwquality
- A default umask of 027 for login shells
- Login banners on console and network logins
- The default user's authorized_keys restricted to mode 0600
Key Features
- Built from the official Red Hat Enterprise Linux 10.1 ISO, "Minimal Install" package group
- 10GB root volume, no LVM, for a fast boot and a small storage footprint
- UEFI/GPT boot with an XFS root filesystem
- cloud-init configured; root partition and filesystem grow to the volume size at first boot
- Elastic Network Adapter (ENA) and NVMe drivers present and verified
- AWS CLI preinstalled
- Distribution security updates applied at build time
- Registered with Red Hat Update Infrastructure (RHUI); no Red Hat subscription required
Ideal For
- Apache HTTP Server and NGINX web and reverse-proxy tiers
- PostgreSQL, MySQL, MariaDB and MongoDB database hosts
- Jenkins, GitLab CI and self-hosted GitHub Actions runners
- Terraform, OpenTofu and Ansible control nodes
- Docker and Podman container hosts, and Kubernetes worker nodes
- Auto Scaling groups and immutable golden-image fleets
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I connect? SSH in as ec2-user with the key pair you chose at launch: ssh -i your-key.pem ec2-user@your-instance. Password login is disabled and root may not log in over SSH; run sudo -i for a root shell.
Do I need a subscription? No. The image is registered with Red Hat Update Infrastructure and receives updates through AWS without a Red Hat subscription.
Who maintains this image, and how often is it rebuilt? Rinne Labs. It is rebuilt as the distribution ships security updates and on each new release, and nothing is published until it passes the full assertion suite on a booted instance.
Why Rinne Labs
- Every image comes out of the same reproducible, fully automated build pipeline, starting from the distribution's official ISO. Nothing is hand-edited in.
- Every image is validated by an automated assertion suite against a booted instance, covering the hardening baseline, the cloud drivers, the repositories and the applied updates. An image that fails an assertion is not published.

Highlights
- Hardened at build time and proven on a booted instance before publication: SELinux enforcing, root login over SSH disabled, key-only authentication, a reduced SSH surface, kernel network hardening, audit rules loaded in the running kernel, account lockout and password quality through PAM, a 027 umask and login banners. Every control carries an automated assertion that must pass before the image ships, and the image records its baseline at /etc/rinne-labs-hardening.
- Minimal by construction: built from the official Red Hat Enterprise Linux 10.1 ISO using only the "Minimal Install" package group, on a 10GB root volume with no LVM, UEFI/GPT boot and an XFS root filesystem. Fewer packages means a smaller attack surface, quicker launches for auto-scaling groups, and lower EBS cost on every instance you run.
- Ready for AWS from first boot: cloud-init expands the root partition and filesystem to the volume size you launch with, the Elastic Network Adapter (ENA) and NVMe drivers are present and verified, and the AWS CLI is preinstalled. Red Hat Update Infrastructure is configured, so package updates need no Red Hat subscription.

Pricing
Free trial
Try this product free for 14 days according to the free trial terms set by the vendor. Usage-based pricing is in effect for usage beyond the free trial terms. Your free trial gets automatically converted to a paid subscription when the trial ends, but may be canceled any time before that.
Pricing is based on actual usage, with charges varying according to how much you consume. Subscriptions have no end date and may be canceled any time. Alternatively, you can pay upfront for a contract, which typically covers your anticipated usage for the contract duration. Any usage beyond contract will incur additional usage-based costs.

Dimensions summary
You pay by the hour for this hardened, minimal Red Hat Enterprise Linux image running on ARM64-based AWS EC2 instances. Pricing is not tiered. Instead, each dimension maps to a specific EC2 instance type, so your rate follows the instance size and family you choose. Smaller instances like nano, micro, and medium carry lower hourly rates, while larger sizes and bare-metal options carry higher rates. Compute, memory, storage, network, and GPU-focused families are all available. You pay only for the hours each instance runs, with no upfront commitment.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
You get a hardened, minimal Red Hat Enterprise Linux 10.1 image built for ARM64. Each instance type maps to a specific EC2 machine size and family, defining its CPU, memory, storage, and network. The image ships with SELinux enabled, root user disabled, cloud-init, and an expandable root disk.
Software charges meter running instance-hours. A fully stopped instance does not accrue the hourly software rate. You may still owe underlying AWS storage fees for the attached volume while stopped, but the software licence bills only for time the instance runs.
No. Each image comes with RHUI configured, so it stays current with security updates at no additional cost beyond your hourly rate. The image also includes the security updates available at its release date.
