Overview
This is a repackaged software product wherein additional charges apply for Seller Premium Support. The Red Hat 9 instance is pre-configured and security-hardened to meet the Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA) Security Technical Implementation Guide (STIG) standard. This hardening reduces the attack surface, improves security posture, and provides a stronger foundation than a baseline image for organizations that require higher security and compliance readiness. We include regularly updated hardened configuration packages, critical security patches, and STIG hotfixes to ensure your environment remains secure, compliant, and reliable. Along with these updates, we provide limited premium OS support to assist you with troubleshooting, optimization, and deployment guidance.
