Madarson IT Ubuntu 22.04 LTS Docker-Optimized AMI

This is a repackaged open source software product wherein additional charges apply for the Docker optimization and hardening configurations included in this image.

A production-ready Amazon EC2 AMI built by Madarson IT that delivers Ubuntu 22.04 LTS with Docker pre-installed, configured, and optimized - so your team can deploy containerized applications without manual setup or tuning.

Pre-installed and Optimized Docker Engine Docker is installed and the daemon is configured with performance-oriented settings including optimized storage driver configuration, logging driver tuning, and cgroup resource management. The image is ready to pull and run containers immediately after launch.

Security-Hardened Configuration This AMI ships with a hardened baseline including disabled root SSH access, key-only authentication, UFW firewall rules restricting unnecessary ports, and AppArmor profiles enabled for container isolation. The Docker daemon is configured to minimize the default attack surface.

Ubuntu 22.04 LTS Foundation Built on Canonical's long-term support release, this image receives regular security patches and kernel updates through April 2027, providing a stable and reliable foundation for production workloads.

• Amazon ECR - Pull container images directly from your private Elastic Container Registry repositories with pre-configured credential helpers.
• Amazon CloudWatch - Ship Docker container logs and host metrics to CloudWatch for centralized monitoring and alerting.
• AWS Systems Manager - Manage patching, configuration, and remote access through SSM Agent, which is pre-installed on the image.
• Elastic Load Balancing - Deploy containers behind an Application Load Balancer for scalable, highly available microservices architectures.

CI/CD Build Environments Use this AMI as a build agent in your continuous integration pipeline (e.g., Jenkins, GitHub Actions runners) to build and push Docker images without spending time on environment setup.

Microservices Deployment Run multiple containerized services on a single instance for small-to-mid-size teams managing 5-50 containers behind an ALB, with Docker Compose pre-available for multi-container orchestration.

Development and Staging Environments Spin up isolated development environments that mirror production, enabling developers to test containerized applications locally before deploying to Amazon ECS or EKS.

Secure Production Workloads Deploy customer-facing applications in hardened containers with network isolation, resource limits, and security profiles already configured.

• Immediate Productivity - Skip the manual installation, configuration, and hardening steps. Launch an instance and begin deploying containers within minutes.
• Hardened by Default - Security configurations are applied at the OS and Docker daemon level, reducing the effort required to meet organizational security policies.
• Long-term Stability - Ubuntu 22.04 LTS ensures five years of standard support with regular security updates from Canonical.
• AWS-Native Workflow - Integrates with ECR, CloudWatch, and Systems Manager so the AMI fits naturally into your existing AWS infrastructure.
