AWS Marketplace now accepts line of credit payments through the PNC Vendor Finance program. This program is available to select AWS customers in the US, excluding NV, NC, ND, TN, & VT.
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.
Additional AWS infrastructure costs may apply. Use the AWS Pricing Calculator to estimate your infrastructure costs.
If you are an AWS Free Tier customer with a free plan, you are eligible to subscribe to this offer. You can use free credits to cover the cost of eligible AWS infrastructure. See AWS Free Tier for more details. If you created an AWS account before July 15th, 2025, and qualify for the Legacy AWS Free Tier, Amazon EC2 charges for Micro instances are free for up to 750 hours per month. See Legacy AWS Free Tier for more details.
You pay by the hour for each running instance, with no upfront commitment. Pricing is tied to the EC2 instance type you choose, not to features. The image ships with the same CIS-benchmarked hardening across every instance type, so dimensions differ only by compute size and family. Smaller instances like t3.nano cost less per hour, while larger instances such as the 96xlarge and multi-terabyte u-series sizes cost more. You scale cost by picking a family (general purpose, compute, memory, storage, GPU, or HPC) and a size that fit your workload.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
Am I charged for instances that are stopped or powered off?
You pay the hourly software rate only while an instance runs. Stopped or powered-off instances do not accrue software charges. Underlying AWS storage fees from attached volumes may still apply, but the hourly software meter counts running time only.
What does one hourly unit cover, and what is included in the image?
One unit is one running EC2 instance of the chosen type, billed per hour. Every instance type ships the same Rocky Linux 10 image hardened to CIS benchmarks. The hourly rate covers the hardened operating system baseline, not AWS compute or storage, which bill separately.
What drives my hourly cost across the many instance types listed?
The instance type you select drives cost, not software features. Compute size and family set the rate, since every type carries identical hardening. Larger sizes and specialized families like GPU, storage, or multi-terabyte memory instances cost more per hour than smaller general purpose sizes.

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
Initial release of OpenLogic's Rocky Linux 10 Security Hardened AMI. This image is pre-hardened and benchmarked against both the CIS Level 2 - Server and PCI-DSS standards via OpenSCAP, using the ansible-lockdown RHEL10-CIS role. All documented hardening exceptions are shipped on-image at /root/harden/HARDENING_EXCEPTIONS.md, alongside the full pre- and post-hardening OpenSCAP compliance reports. For the complete upstream Rocky Linux 10.2 release notes, see https://docs.rockylinux.org/releases/release_notes/10_2/
Additional details
Usage instructions
Step-by-step access instructions:
Subscribe to this product, then launch an instance from the AMI in your chosen region.
In the security group, allow inbound TCP port 22 from the address range you will connect from.
Select an EC2 key pair at launch. Password authentication is disabled on this image; access is by key pair only.
Connect over SSH as the user "rocky":
ssh -i /path/to/key.pem rocky@<public-ip>
Use sudo for privileged operations. Direct root login over SSH is disabled.
Configuration notes: this image has been hardened to the CIS Level 2 - Server and PCI-DSS benchmarks via OpenSCAP; see HARDENING_EXCEPTIONS.md and the compliance reports shipped in /root/harden for the full documented exception list. The root filesystem expands automatically on first boot.
9x5 email support only (image-support@openlogic.com). You will have to provide your name, email & AmazonID in order to obtain support. If you would like to receive Gold (24x7) or Silver (12x5) support levels, please contact info@perforce.com or +1 612.517.2100, image-support@openlogic.com.

This Rocky Linux 10 Latest image has charges associated with it for security hardening and optimization provided by ProComputers. At launch, the image automatically applies the newest security patches, so you are always running the most secure version available instead of a snapshot that ages after publication. It tracks the current minor release of Rocky Linux 10, the community enterprise distribution from the Rocky Enterprise Software Foundation, and stays binary compatible with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 10. On AWS EC2, the image works with cloud-init for hands-off provisioning, uses ENA networking for fast throughput, and keeps SELinux in enforcing mode with SSH key-only access. Packaged and maintained by ProComputers, Rocky 10 gives teams a lean, current, and dependable foundation for production servers without extra patching work after deployment.
This Rocky Linux 10.2 image has charges associated with it for security hardening and optimization provided by ProComputers. Version 10.2 is the latest stable minor release of the Rocky Linux 10 platform, so you start with the newest kernel, toolchains, and security fixes published by the Rocky Enterprise Software Foundation. Updates keep arriving through standard dnf commands, and when the next minor version ships, running systems move forward in place instead of needing a reinstall. On AWS EC2, this Rocky 10.2 image boots quickly, applies settings through cloud-init, and uses ENA networking on current instance types. SELinux runs in enforcing mode and SSH access is limited to key pairs. ProComputers packages and refreshes the Rocky Linux 10.2 AMI so teams can deploy a supported, RHEL 10 compatible server in minutes.
This Rocky Linux 8.10 image has charges associated with it for security hardening and optimization provided by ProComputers. Rocky Linux 8.10 is the latest and final minor release of the 8 series, the most refined form of the platform before the move to Rocky Linux 9. It gathers years of fixes, driver updates, and security improvements into one mature base for Amazon EC2. Rocky 8.10 keeps binary compatibility with RHEL 8, runs SELinux in enforcing mode, and ships with cloud-init and ENA drivers ready at first boot. Updates arrive through the official Rocky repositories, so patching stays simple for the rest of the 8 branch lifecycle. It suits teams that want to keep proven RHEL 8 workloads such as web stacks, databases, and build pipelines on a settled platform instead of migrating before they are ready. ProComputers builds, tests, and refreshes the image so it launches cleanly and stays dependable in production.
