This product has charges associated with it for hardening, security configuration, and support.
Drupal is a leading open-source content management system (CMS), running here as a PHP 8.3 + MariaDB + nginx (PHP-FPM) stack installed with Composer. Unlike bare Drupal AMIs that leave you to run the installer by hand, set a database password, configure TLS, and stop the version beacon yourself, this Lynxroute build is ready out of the box: the site pre-installed with a unique admin password generated at first boot, a unique MariaDB password, TLS enabled on port 443, the database bound to localhost only, the Update Status beacon disabled, UFW firewall pre-configured, and a CIS Level 1 hardened Ubuntu 24.04 LTS base.
GPL-2.0-or-later license - fully auditable, no vendor lock-in.
Overview
This is a repackaged software product wherein additional charges apply for hardening, security configuration, and support.
WHAT IS DRUPAL
Drupal is a leading open-source content management system (CMS) and web application framework used by governments, universities, and enterprises worldwide. It is a PHP application backed by a MySQL/MariaDB or PostgreSQL database and served by nginx with PHP-FPM; this image installs it with Composer (the drupal/recommended-project layout). Drupal gives you structured content types and fields, taxonomy, the Views query builder, flexible URL aliases, a roles-and-permissions access model, revisions and workflows, multilingual content, a theming layer, a REST/JSON:API for headless and decoupled front-ends, and one of the largest module ecosystems of any CMS. Because you self-host it, all content and visitor data stays inside your own AWS account, which makes GDPR and data-residency compliance straightforward. Drupal is GPL-2.0-or-later licensed with no vendor lock-in.
WHAT THIS AMI ADDS
Security hardening:
- Site pre-installed at first boot with a unique admin password (no install wizard, no shipped default credential)
- Unique MariaDB password generated at first boot; the database and PHP-FPM bound to 127.0.0.1 only - never exposed to the network
- TLS enabled on port 443 with a self-signed certificate (replace with your own CA/Let's Encrypt certificate for production)
- The Update Status beacon is disabled - the image does not phone home to drupal.org for version checks (you can re-enable it under Extend)
- settings.php locked down and the public files directory isolated; trusted host patterns tracked automatically
- UFW firewall pre-configured (ports 22, 80, 443 only)
- fail2ban, auditd, and AppArmor pre-configured
- CVE scan - every image is scanned for vulnerabilities before release
OS hardening (CIS Level 1):
- CIS Ubuntu 24.04 LTS Level 1 benchmark applied via ansible-lockdown
- auditd, SSH key-only access, kernel hardening, IMDSv2 enforced
Compliance artifacts:
- SBOM - CycloneDX 1.6 at /etc/lynxroute/sbom.json
- CIS Conformance Report at /etc/lynxroute/cis-report.html
- CIS Tailored Profile at /usr/share/doc/lynxroute/CIS_TAILORED_PROFILE.md

Dimensions summary
You pay by the hour based on the EC2 instance size you choose to run this hardened Drupal image. The four options map to different compute capacities: t3.small, t3.medium, t3.large, and m6i.large. The t3 sizes step up in resources as you move from small to large. The m6i.large gives you a general-purpose instance in a separate EC2 family. You pick the size that fits your workload; hourly software charges scale with the instance you select. Each image ships pre-hardened, so pricing reflects the running instance rather than plan tiers.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
Each option maps to an AWS EC2 instance type with fixed CPU and memory. The t3 sizes are burstable general-purpose instances that step up in resources from small to large. The m6i.large is a general-purpose instance in a separate family. AWS publishes the exact specs for each type.
Hourly software charges apply only while the instance runs. A stopped or powered-off instance stops accruing software charges. You may still owe underlying AWS fees for attached storage even when the instance is not running. The software meter counts running time only.
Each image ships with CIS Level 1 hardened Ubuntu 24.04 LTS, firewall, fail2ban, AppArmor, and auditd pre-configured. It includes CVE scanning results, a software bill of materials, and a CIS Conformance Report. Unique credentials generate at first boot. The hourly price covers the running instance, not separate setup tiers.

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.
Version release notes
Updated to version 11.3.16.
Additional details
Usage instructions
- Launch instance (t3.medium recommended)
- Open Security Group - allow TCP 443 (and 80 for the HTTP-to-HTTPS redirect) from your IP only
- SSH: ssh -i key.pem ubuntu@<PUBLIC_IP>
- Read credentials: sudo cat /root/drupal-credentials.txt
- Open https://<PUBLIC_IP>/ in your browser - accept the self-signed certificate warning
- Log in at https://<PUBLIC_IP>/user/login with username "admin" and the admin password from the credentials file
The site is already installed - there is no install wizard to complete. The admin password and the database password are generated uniquely at first boot and saved to /root/drupal-credentials.txt. After your first login, change the admin password and set a real admin email under People.
Keep port 443 restricted to your IP until you have changed the admin password, since anyone who reaches the site before you can use the shipped credentials.
The Update Status module is uninstalled, so this image does not phone home to drupal.org for version checks; re-enable it under Extend if you want update notifications.
For your own domain with a CA-signed certificate (recommended for production): sudo certbot --nginx -d your.domain.com Then add your domain to $settings['trusted_host_patterns'] in /var/www/drupal/web/sites/default/settings.php.
