Overview
Red Hat JBoss EAP 8.1 is a production-ready Jakarta EE 10application server that delivers the full Java EE programming model - including EJB, JPA, JMS, JAX-RS, CDI, and JSF - on a lightweight, high-performance runtime. This image delivers JBoss EAP fully installed and configured on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8, so a complete Jakarta EE application server is running within minutes of launch. Skip the hours of manual installation, dependency resolution, and security hardening that a bare RHEL AMI requires.
Why This Image Over Alternatives
Unlike self-installing EAP on a bare RHEL AMI or running unsupported WildFly, this image eliminates manual JDK installation, EAP configuration, systemd service creation, and credential setup. The standalone-full profile is pre-tuned with all Jakarta EE 10 subsystems enabled. Every instance launches with a unique, automatically generated management password - removing the security risk of shared or default credentials that plague manual deployments. You also receive ongoing expert support from cloudimg, which is unavailable with community-only options.
Application Server Stack
- JBoss EAP 8.1 running as a systemd service under the standalone-full profile, enabling the full Jakarta EE 10 feature set including the JMS messaging subsystem (ActiveMQ Artemis)
- Java 21 LTS from the RHEL AppStream repository provides the JDK
- Management console available on port 9990
- HTTP listener on port 8080 serves deployed applications
Security and Network Guidance
Secure First Boot: On first launch, a one-shot systemd service generates a fresh management admin password unique to that instance, registers it via the EAP add-user utility in the ManagementRealm, and stores the plain text value in a root-only file. No shared or default credentials ship in the image.
Recommended Security Group Rules:
- Port 9990(management console) - restrict to your admin IP range or VPN CIDR only
- Port 8080 (HTTP application traffic) - open to application consumers or place behind an ALB
- Port 22 (SSH) - restrict to your bastion or admin IP
Encryption Guidance: Enable EBS encryption on attached volumes for data-at-rest protection. Configure TLS on the EAP HTTPS listener (port 8443) for data in transit. Place the management console (port 9990) in a private subnet or behind a VPN to prevent public exposure.
Ready To Deploy
The EAP service, standalone-full profile, and per-instance admin account are all prepared at launch. Connect to the management console on port 9990 to deploy WAR and EAR applications, configure datasources, messaging destinations, and security domains. The HTTP listener on port 8080 serves deployed applications immediately.
Use Cases
- Enterprise Messaging: Financial services teams processing trade orders and settlement messages through JMS via ActiveMQ Artemis at high throughput
- Microservices and REST APIs: SaaS vendors deploying multiple JAX-RS-based services behind an Application Load Balancer for scalable API back ends
- Stateful Enterprise Applications: EJB-based workloads for insurance claims processing, ERP modules, or supply chain orchestration
- JPA Database Applications: Data-intensive applications backed by Amazon RDS or Aurora with JPA connection pooling and transaction management

Highlights
- JBoss EAP 8.1 preinstalled with the standalone-full Jakarta EE 10 profile, Java 21 LTS, and systemd service on RHEL 8. Eliminates manual JDK installation, EAP configuration, profile tuning, and service setup - your management console is accessible on port 9990 within minutes of launch, ready to deploy WAR and EAR applications immediately without any manual server configuration steps.
- Security-hardened first boot generates a unique management admin password for every instance and stores it in a root-only file - no shared or default credentials ever ship. This eliminates the credential exposure risk present in manual installations and provides a stronger security baseline than self-configured deployments where default passwords are often left unchanged.
- 24/7 expert technical support from cloudimg with a one-hour average response time for critical issues. Engineers assist with JBoss EAP application deployment, datasource configuration, JMS messaging with ActiveMQ Artemis, clustering setup, and performance tuning - ongoing expertise unavailable with unsupported community alternatives like WildFly.

Amazon Machine Image (AMI)
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.
