Overview
StigReady Base for Ubuntu 24.04 LTS: STIG-aligned disk layout and EC2 cloud hardening on official media (v1.0.6), 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.

Pricing
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.
Additional AWS infrastructure costs may apply. Use the AWS Pricing Calculator to estimate your infrastructure costs.

Dimensions summary
You pay an hourly software fee for this hardened Ubuntu 24.04 image, billed on top of your standard EC2 charges. The 14 dimensions map to arm64 (Graviton) EC2 instance sizes across three families. The t4g line covers burstable general-purpose sizes from micro through 2xlarge. The m6g and m7g lines cover general-purpose compute from large through 4xlarge. The c6g line covers compute-optimized large and xlarge sizes. You choose the instance size that fits your workload; the software rate corresponds to that size. AWS bills the underlying EC2 instance separately.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
You get a hardened Ubuntu 24.04 base with a STIG partition layout and SSH hardening. It is built from the official OS ISO, fully patched, and boot-tested on EC2 Nitro. You bring your own profiles, Ansible, and tooling to apply on top of the base.
The software fee meters running instance-hours. A stopped instance does not accrue the hourly software charge. Note that AWS may still bill underlying storage for a stopped instance. The software rate applies only while the instance runs.
The hourly rate is a software fee only. AWS bills the underlying EC2 instance separately at its own rate. Your total cost combines the software fee for the chosen instance size plus the standard AWS compute charge. Larger instance sizes carry a different software 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.
