Overview
StigReady Base for Ubuntu 24.04 LTS: STIG-aligned disk layout and EC2 cloud hardening on official media (v1.0.7), boot-verified on AWS Nitro. SBOM and CVE scan for every build. Foundation before CIS/STIG remediation or StigReady Applied.
Who this is for: Platform engineers and integrators who need a repeatable EC2 foundation with the STIG filesystem layout already in place - before applying your own profiles or subscribing to a scored StigReady Applied image.
What you get (StigReady Base tier):
- Separate mounts for /home, /tmp, /var, /var/log, /var/log/audit, /var/tmp (applied at install; not retrofittable after launch)
- EC2 cloud baseline: IMDSv2 required, no pre-installed SSH authorized_keys, PermitRootLogin and password SSH disabled, host keys regenerated on first boot
- Built from official OS install media; patched at build time
- Boot-verified on real AWS EC2 Nitro before release
- Per-version evidence (SBOM + CVE scan), on request from support@stigready.com
Getting started:
- Subscribe and launch in EC2 with your SSH key.
- Connect as ubuntu; restrict security group TCP/22 to trusted IPs.
- See https://stigready.com for documentation.
No Ubuntu Pro subscription is included. Ongoing ESM and FIPS updates require your own Ubuntu Pro subscription.
Pricing: one flat software fee of $0.02/hr (or $149 per instance per year on an annual plan), the same on every supported instance type; it does not change with instance size. EC2 infrastructure is billed separately by AWS.

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.
