WildFly is an open-source Jakarta EE 10 application server (Java) for deploying WAR and EAR applications, with servlets, JAX-RS, CDI, JPA/Hibernate, messaging, and a web management console and CLI. Unlike bare WildFly AMIs that bind the application and management ports to every interface, ship no management user, and serve no TLS, this Lynxroute build is ready out of the box: a random management admin password generated at first boot, an nginx TLS perimeter on 443, the application (8080) and management (9990) ports bound to localhost, UFW firewall pre-configured, and a CIS Level 1 hardened Ubuntu 24.04 LTS base.
LGPL-2.1 license - fully auditable, no vendor lock-in.
This is a repackaged software product wherein additional charges apply for hardening, security configuration, and support.
WHAT IS WILDFLY
WildFly is an open-source Jakarta EE 10 application server written in Java, the community successor to JBoss Application Server. It runs WAR and EAR applications and implements the full Jakarta EE web and platform profiles: servlets and JSP, JAX-RS REST services, WebSocket, CDI, JPA/Hibernate, Bean Validation, JTA transactions, JMS messaging (ActiveMQ Artemis), and Jakarta Security. It ships a modular, fast-booting runtime with a web management console, a scriptable jboss-cli, a deployment scanner for drop-in deployments, and datasource/connection-pool management. This image runs WildFly in standalone mode with an explicitly sized JVM heap. WildFly is wholly community open source under LGPL-2.1 - distinct from the commercial JBoss EAP - with no open-core feature gating and no vendor lock-in.
WHAT THIS AMI ADDS
Security hardening:
Standalone mode with a non-root service user and an explicitly sized JVM heap (-Xms/-Xmx)
Random management admin user generated at first boot (add-user), written to /root/wildfly-credentials.txt (root-only)
nginx TLS perimeter on port 443 (self-signed certificate, ready for your own CA cert or Let's Encrypt; certbot pre-installed)
WildFly application HTTP (8080) and the management interface (9990) bound to 127.0.0.1 only
UFW firewall pre-configured (ports 22 and 443 only)
fail2ban, auditd, 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
CIS Conformance Report at /etc/lynxroute/cis-report.html
CIS Tailored Profile at /usr/share/doc/lynxroute/CIS_TAILORED_PROFILE.md
Highlights
WildFly security baked in: a random management admin password generated at first boot, an nginx TLS perimeter on 443, and the application (8080) and management (9990) ports bound to localhost - unlike bare WildFly AMIs that bind every interface to 0.0.0.0, ship no management user, and serve the console and apps without TLS.
CIS Level 1 hardened Ubuntu 24.04 LTS: auditd, fail2ban, AppArmor, SSH key-only, IMDSv2 enforced. CVE-scanned before every release. SBOM (CycloneDX) and CIS Conformance Report included.
Full Jakarta EE 10 application server: deploy WAR/EAR apps with servlets, JAX-RS, CDI, JPA/Hibernate, and messaging, managed via the web console and jboss-cli. LGPL-2.1 license - fully auditable, no vendor lock-in.

WildFly - Hardened Jakarta EE Application Server (Java)
You pay by the hour based on the EC2 instance size you launch. The four options map to different compute sizes: t3.small, t3.medium, t3.large, and m6i.large. Smaller instances suit lighter workloads, while larger ones handle heavier demand. The software itself is the same hardened Jakarta EE application server across all four; only the underlying instance capacity and hourly rate change. You are billed for each hour an instance runs, so cost scales with usage and the size you pick.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
What resources come with each hourly instance option?
Each option maps to an EC2 instance type. The t3.small, t3.medium, and t3.large are burstable instances that scale CPU for variable workloads. The m6i.large is a fixed-performance instance suited to steady demand. All four run the same hardened Jakarta EE application server image.
Am I charged when an instance is stopped or powered off?
Software charges accrue per hour while an instance runs. A fully stopped instance stops accruing the hourly software fee. Underlying AWS storage costs may still apply to a stopped instance separately. The software meter counts running time only.
What security work is already done inside each hourly instance?
Every image ships CIS Level 1 hardened on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS, with SSH hardening, kernel hardening, a firewall, and intrusion prevention pre-configured. Each release is scanned for known vulnerabilities. A software bill of materials and conformance report are bundled inside, and unique credentials generate at first boot.

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
WildFly 41.0.0.Final
Updated to WildFly 41.0.0.Final - major release with refreshed bundled security components (MINA SSHD, Artemis, CXF, Jackson, Netty)
Certbot pre-installed - enable a trusted HTTPS certificate with one command: sudo certbot --nginx -d yourdomain.com
Rebuilt on the latest CIS Level 1 hardened Ubuntu 24.04 LTS base
Open YOUR_INSTANCE_IP in your browser (HTTPS) - accept the self-signed certificate warning; the WildFly welcome page confirms the server is running
Deploy your application by copying a .war or .ear file into /opt/wildfly/standalone/deployments/ - the deployment scanner deploys it automatically
The management console listens on 127.0.0.1:9990 and is not exposed. Reach it with an SSH tunnel: ssh -i key.pem -L 9990:127.0.0.1:9990 ubuntu@YOUR_INSTANCE_IP then open 127.0.0.1:9990 in your browser and log in with the management user from the credentials file. Local CLI access: sudo -u wildfly /opt/wildfly/bin/jboss-cli.sh --connect
Credentials are saved to /root/wildfly-credentials.txt at first boot.
For production, replace the self-signed certificate with your own domain: run sudo certbot --nginx.
