Overview
This AMI is built for users who want a working web server without spending time on package installation and initial configuration. It is based on Rocky Linux 8.10 and comes with Nginx and PHP-FPM already installed and configured to work together. Common PHP extensions (mysqlnd, gd, xml, mbstring, opcache, json, zip, curl, intl) are included so most web applications and CMS platforms can run immediately. Certbot is pre-installed and a simple helper script called setup-ssl is available. After you point your domain to the instance, you only need to run one command to obtain and configure a free Let's Encrypt SSL certificate. The image also includes a security baseline: SELinux is set to enforcing mode, SSH is hardened (key-only authentication, root login disabled), fail2ban protects against brute-force attempts, and security headers are enabled in Nginx. AWS tools such as SSM Agent, CloudWatch Agent and AWS CLI v2 are present, and a short README is available at /opt/web-ready/README.txt with basic usage instructions. The web root is /var/www/html and a sample page is included so you can confirm the server is working right after launch. This makes it a practical starting point for websites, web applications or development environments on AWS.
Highlights
- Ready-to-use web stack: Nginx and PHP-FPM are pre-installed and configured so you can start serving websites right away
- Easy SSL: Certbot is included with a simple setup-ssl command to get free Let's Encrypt certificates in a few steps
- Secure by default: SELinux is enforcing, SSH is hardened, fail2ban protects against brute-force attacks, and security headers are enabled
