This product has charges associated with it for hardening, security configuration, and support.
Wazuh is an open source SIEM and XDR platform deployed all-in-one on a single host: the Wazuh manager (C), the Wazuh indexer (an OpenSearch fork, Java), the Wazuh dashboard (an OpenSearch-Dashboards fork, Node), and Filebeat. Unlike bare Wazuh AMIs that ship demo passwords (admin/admin), expose the indexer on port 9200, and front the dashboard with no reverse proxy, this Lynxroute build is ready out of the box: the dashboard admin password and every backing-store credential rotated at first boot, the indexer bound to 127.0.0.1 only, the dashboard served through a TLS-terminating nginx, UFW firewall pre-configured, and a CIS Level 1 hardened Ubuntu 24.04 LTS base.
GPL-2.0 manager with Apache-2.0 indexer and dashboard - fully auditable, no vendor lock-in.
This is a repackaged software product wherein additional charges apply for hardening, security configuration, and support.
WHAT IS WAZUH
Wazuh is a free, open source security platform that unifies SIEM (Security Information and Event Management) and XDR (Extended Detection and Response) capabilities. This image runs the complete all-in-one stack on one host: the Wazuh manager (the GPLv2 analysis engine), the Wazuh indexer (an Apache-2.0 OpenSearch fork that stores and searches events), the Wazuh dashboard (an Apache-2.0 OpenSearch-Dashboards fork), and Filebeat. It performs log data analysis, intrusion and threat detection, file integrity monitoring (FIM), vulnerability detection, configuration assessment, active response, and MITRE ATT&CK mapping, with out-of-the-box regulatory compliance reporting for PCI DSS, HIPAA, NIST 800-53, and GDPR. Lightweight agents for Linux, Windows, and macOS enroll over TCP 1515/1514 and stream security telemetry to the manager. The indexer and dashboard are OpenSearch forks under Apache-2.0 - not Elastic SSPL - so the full platform is auditable with no vendor lock-in and no per-agent SaaS fees.
WHAT THIS AMI ADDS
Security hardening:
The dashboard admin login password is generated uniquely at first boot (no admin/admin default)
All backing-store credentials - indexer service account, manager REST API users, and Filebeat - are rotated per-instance at first boot and written to /root/wazuh-credentials.txt (mode 0600)
The Wazuh indexer (OpenSearch) is bound to 127.0.0.1:9200 only - never exposed off-host
The dashboard listens on 127.0.0.1:5601 and is reachable only through a TLS-terminating nginx on port 443, with a loading splash + readiness gate during startup
UFW firewall pre-configured: only TCP 22, 443, 1514, 1515, and 55000 are open
fail2ban, auditd, and 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
Wazuh security baked in: the dashboard admin password and every backing-store credential (indexer service account, REST API users, Filebeat) rotated per-instance at first boot, the OpenSearch indexer bound to 127.0.0.1 only, and the dashboard reachable only through a TLS nginx - unlike bare Wazuh AMIs that ship demo passwords (admin/admin), expose the indexer on port 9200, and put the dashboard straight on the public interface.
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 open-source SIEM and XDR: log analysis, intrusion and threat detection, file integrity monitoring, vulnerability detection, and out-of-the-box PCI DSS, HIPAA, and NIST compliance reporting. GPL-2.0 manager with Apache-2.0 OpenSearch indexer and dashboard - no SSPL, no vendor lock-in.

Wazuh - Open Source SIEM, XDR and Security Monitoring Platform
You pay by the hour for the EC2 instance size you run this hardened image on. Four instance options set the price. The t3.large fits lighter, variable workloads with burstable performance. The m6i.large, m6i.xlarge, and m6i.2xlarge are general-purpose sizes that scale up in compute and memory. As you move to larger sizes, the hourly rate rises with the added capacity. You choose the size that matches your workload. Software runs in your own cloud account, and AWS handles all billing on the hourly usage.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
What software and configuration am I paying for on each instance size?
Every size runs the same Wazuh open source SIEM image on a CIS Level 1 hardened Ubuntu 24.04 LTS base. Each includes CVE scanning, a bundled software bill of materials, a CIS Conformance Report, firewall, and unique credentials generated at first boot. The hourly rate covers this image running on the chosen EC2 size.
Am I charged for the software when the instance is stopped?
Hourly software charges apply only while the instance runs. A fully stopped instance stops accruing software charges. You may still pay underlying AWS storage fees for the attached volumes, but the software meters running time only. All billing is handled by AWS.
What distinguishes the t3.large option from the m6i sizes?
The t3.large uses burstable performance, which suits lighter or variable workloads that spike occasionally. The m6i.large, m6i.xlarge, and m6i.2xlarge are general-purpose sizes offering steady compute and memory. Each larger m6i size adds more capacity, so the hourly rate rises with the resources you select.

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
Wazuh v4.14.6
Updated to Wazuh 4.14.6 - upstream security-hardening and bugfix release
Certbot pre-installed - enable HTTPS with one command: sudo certbot --nginx -d yourdomain.com
Rebuilt on the latest CIS Level 1 hardened Ubuntu 24.04 LTS base
Open Security Group - allow TCP 443 (dashboard) and TCP 55000 (manager API) from your IP, and TCP 1514 + 1515 (agent events + enrollment) from the networks where your agents run
Open https://<PUBLIC_IP>/ in your browser - accept the self-signed certificate warning - and log in as admin with the password from the credentials file
Enroll an agent: install the Wazuh agent on a host, point it at the manager (enrollment on TCP 1515, events on TCP 1514); it then appears under Agents in the dashboard
The manager REST API is available at https://<PUBLIC_IP>:55000/
First launch takes a few minutes while the indexer warms up and security is initialized; until then the URL shows a loading page that refreshes automatically.
The dashboard admin password and all backing-store credentials are generated at first boot and saved to /root/wazuh-credentials.txt.
The Wazuh indexer (port 9200) and dashboard backend (port 5601) are bound to 127.0.0.1 only and are not reachable from outside the instance.
Replace the self-signed TLS certificate with a CA-signed certificate (or run sudo certbot --nginx) for production use.
