Overview
Install your software stack with just a few clicks, licensed and ready to go! By using this bundle you are renting all your necessary licenses on an hourly basis. You get your support from MidVision, an IBM Business Partner and supplier of this bundle with Amazon EC2. MidVision RapidDeploy is installed to allow you to get started quickly and easily, but also perform your ongoing product installations administrative tasks. A RapidDeploy quick start console menu lets you create and manage objects directly from the command line, even with no prior experience. The MidVision RapidDeploy web UI lets you easily upgrade products as well as quickly and easily deploy, rollback or redeploy application and configuration changes to your stack environment, OS or other software or configuration you install on the AMI. File and directory ownership and permissions across the WebSphere installation, and the account under which the server processes run, follow the requirements of the DISA IBM WebSphere Traditional 9.x STIG; WebSphere does not run as root. Operating system hardening and WebSphere security configuration such as TLS, administrative security and auditing remain yours to configure to your own policy.

Dimensions summary
You pay by the hour for each running instance of this ready-to-run WebSphere Application Server Base image. Every dimension maps to an AWS EC2 instance type, grouped into families such as compute-optimized (c-series), general purpose (m-series and t-series), memory-optimized (r-series and x-series), and storage-optimized (i-series). The hourly rate rises with the instance size, since pricing follows the vCPU count of the type you choose. You pay only while an instance runs; stopped instances cost nothing. Pick a smaller type for light use or a larger type for more servers, clusters, or heavier resource demands.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
The rate covers your right to run that instance, standard support, and the license for both the WebSphere Base software and MidVision's RapidDeploy tool. You pay this for as long as the instance runs. The underlying operating system and AWS infrastructure support come from your cloud provider.
No. You pay only for launched, running instances. When an instance sits in the stopped state, no software charges accrue. The hourly rate meters each hour, or part of an hour, that the instance actually runs. Note that RapidDeploy uses an in-memory database, so stop it properly to save work.
There is no limit on how many instances you run. Each instance bills independently at the hourly rate for the type you chose. The rates do not combine into a single tier; your total is the sum of each running instance's hourly charge, based on its vCPU count.

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
What's new in 9.0.5.29
- File system and process hardening: ownership and permissions on the WebSphere installation, profile and log directories, and the service account under which the server processes run, now follow the requirements of the DISA IBM WebSphere Traditional 9.x STIG. WebSphere no longer runs as root.
- IBM WebSphere Application Server updated to 9.0.5.29. Full fix list: https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/fix-list-ibm-websphere-application-server-traditional-v9-0
Scope of the hardening This change covers file ownership, directory permissions and process ownership only. The underlying operating system is not STIG-hardened, and WebSphere security settings such as TLS configuration, administrative security, auditing and password policy are left at their defaults for you to configure to your own policy.
Additional details
