This product has charges associated with it for providing dedicated seller support and OS-level hardening by Blume in line with ACSC ISM Top Secret compliance.

Overview
This is a repackaged software product wherein additional charges apply for dedicated seller support and operating system hardening by Blume.
Our AMIs are specifically hardened to meet ACSC ISM Top Secret compliance, the highest classification level defined in the Australian Cyber Security Centre's Information Security Manual (ISM). The ISM Top Secret level enforces the most rigorous configuration and hardening requirements, designed for environments handling highly classified workloads where maximum protection is required.
Controls at the Top Secret level include strict access control, mandatory encryption standards, advanced auditing and monitoring, and system isolation measures. These controls are intended to minimize risk exposure, protect sensitive information, and ensure maximum resilience against sophisticated attacks.
By adopting the ISM Top Secret level, organizations align with the most demanding Australian government security standards, ensuring compliance readiness for national security and highly classified workloads.
Finally, our operating systems are not only compliance ready but are also consistently updated, ensuring that the latest security patches are applied in a timely manner to maintain protection and reliability in production environments.
Highlights
- Blume has been established since 2020 and is a trusted brand relied upon by many large corporations for secure and compliant solutions.
- This AMI is updated and compliance-ready out of the box, requiring no additional configuration steps to meet ACSC ISM Top Secret standards.

Dimensions summary
You pay by the hour for this hardened Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9 image, mapped to ACSC ISM Top Secret controls, with seller support included. Pricing is usage-based, so you are charged only for the hours each instance runs. The many dimensions are not tiers or feature levels. Each one matches a specific EC2 instance type and size, from small general-purpose options to large memory-, compute-, storage-, and GPU-focused machines. Your hourly rate follows the instance you choose, so larger or specialized instances cost more per hour. The software layer stays the same across all instance choices.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
You get a Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9 image hardened to ACSC ISM Top Secret controls, running on the EC2 instance size you pick. The rate covers the software layer plus seller support. Compute, memory, storage, and GPU capacity come from the instance type you select, not the software.
Software charges apply per hour while an instance runs. A fully stopped instance stops accruing the hourly software charge. Underlying AWS storage and other AWS resources may still bill separately. The software meter counts running time only.
Yes. The software rate is tied to the EC2 instance type and size you choose. Larger or specialized instances carry a different hourly rate than small general-purpose ones. The software itself does not change across choices, but each instance has its own listed rate.

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
We recommend scoping your launched EC2 instance to only your internal network and restricting access to your own IP address for maximum security.
How to Connect to Your Red Hat 9 Instance Using SSH:
-
Locate your key pair: Ensure you have the .pem key pair file selected when launching the instance. Save it securely on your local machine.
-
Set permissions: Update the file permissions on the key file so it is not publicly viewable. Example: chmod 400 your-key.pem
-
Find the public DNS or IP: In the AWS Management Console, open the EC2 Dashboard and locate the Public DNS (IPv4) or Public IP of your instance.
-
Connect with SSH: From your terminal, run the following command, replacing your-key.pem with your key file and <public-dns> with your instance details: ssh -i your-key.pem ec2-user@<public-dns>
-
Accept the fingerprint: When prompted, confirm the fingerprint to establish the first-time connection.
-
You are now connected to your Red Hat 9 instance via SSH.
