Docker Engine is the underlying technology behind Docker, providing a lightweight virtualization solution to run, create, and manage containers, which encapsulate applications with their dependencies in a portable environment. This is crucial because it simplifies development, supports CI/CD methodologies by ensuring consistency between development and production environments, reduces conflicts between teams working on different parts of a project, and streamlines deployment processes, making it easier to scale and maintain applications across diverse infrastructures.
This image comes meticulously preconfigured by Hardened Images, adhering to the Security Technical Implementation Guides (STIG), which set the gold standard for secure configuration. These guidelines are vendor-neutral, developed through a collaborative, consensus-based approach, and recognized by government, business, industry, and academia alike. Importantly, STIG standards also serve as a robust foundation for compliance with a wide range of cybersecurity frameworks. Tailored for system and application administrators, security experts, auditors, help desk staff, and platform deployment professionals, this image is optimized for those looking to develop, deploy, evaluate, or secure applications leveraging this Linux system. It significantly enhances operational efficiency, while also mitigating time, cost, and risk associated with deploying your organization's AWS solutions.
As a trusted consulting ally for small to medium-sized businesses, Hardened Images empowers you to establish and maintain a secure presence in the cloud. We are your dedicated experts in cloud virtual machines, enabling you to commence your projects with the assurance of top-tier security.

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. 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.
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 the EC2 instance type you run. Each dimension maps to a specific AWS instance size, so pricing scales with the compute, memory, or GPU capacity you choose. Smaller instances like t3.nano cost less per hour, while metal and multi-GPU instances like p5.48xlarge cost more. You pick the instance that fits your workload and pay only for the hours it runs. All dimensions deliver the same hardened Docker on Ubuntu 22.04 image; the price difference reflects the underlying hardware, not different software features.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
Am I charged when an instance is stopped or paused?
The software meters running instance-hours only. When you stop an instance, hourly software charges stop accruing. Underlying AWS storage fees may still apply to attached volumes while the instance is stopped, but those are separate from the hourly software charge shown in the table.
What does the hourly charge cover on each instance type?
Each hourly rate covers the hardened Docker on Ubuntu 22.04 image running on that specific EC2 instance size. The rate reflects the instance's compute, memory, and GPU capacity. You pay this software charge on top of standard AWS infrastructure charges for running the instance.
Do I commit upfront, or pay only for hours used?
This is usage-based billing with no upfront commitment. You are metered by the hour for whichever instance type you run. There is no fixed term. This suits variable or short-lived workloads, since you can start and stop instances as needed and pay only for active hours.
