This product has charges associated with it for image hardening, maintenance, and support. NGINX on Amazon Linux 2023, security-hardened for production: minimal package set, SSH key-only access, IMDSv2-only, server_tokens disabled, firewall pre-configured for HTTP/HTTPS, and continuously patched images.
This is a repackaged open source software product wherein additional charges apply for image hardening, ongoing maintenance, and support from Derek Coleman & Associates Incorporated.
NGINX is the world's most widely used web server, reverse proxy, and load balancer. This image delivers NGINX on Amazon Linux 2023 with a production-oriented security baseline applied at build time: the OS package set is minimized, all packages are updated at image build, SSH is restricted to key-based authentication with root login locked, the instance metadata service is enforced at IMDSv2, the firewall ships enabled with only HTTP/HTTPS exposed, and NGINX version disclosure (server_tokens) is disabled. Images are rebuilt and re-scanned continuously so new deployments always start from a currently patched base.
Launch it as a standalone web server, a reverse proxy in front of application tiers, a TLS termination point, or a load balancer for horizontal scale-out.
Highlights
Security-hardened at build time: minimal packages, key-only SSH, IMDSv2-only, firewall enabled with only web ports open, version disclosure off.
Continuously patched: images are rebuilt, vulnerability-scanned, and republished on a regular cadence so new launches start current.
Production-ready in one click: systemd-managed NGINX starts on boot; standard config layout under /etc/nginx for drop-in server blocks.
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.
You pay by the hour for a hardened NGINX web server image on Amazon Linux 2023. The three dimensions match different EC2 compute sizes: c7i.xlarge, c7i.2xlarge, and c7i.4xlarge. Each step up gives you more vCPUs and memory, so the hourly software rate scales with the instance size you choose. Software fees accrue only while an instance runs and are metered by AWS. You pick the size that fits your workload. AWS bills the compute, storage, and network your instance uses separately under your own account.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
What determines the hourly software rate across the three c7i instance sizes?
The rate scales with the instance size you pick. Each step from c7i.xlarge to c7i.2xlarge to c7i.4xlarge adds more vCPUs and memory. Software fees are metered per vCPU per hour, so the hourly charge rises with the size you deploy.
Am I charged when my instance is stopped or paused?
Software fees accrue only while an instance runs, metered by AWS. A stopped or fully powered-off instance does not accrue software charges. You may still owe AWS for storage and other resources your account uses, billed separately from the software licence.
What is included in the software fee, and what does AWS bill separately?
The software fee covers the hardened NGINX image, hardening, and support. It does not cover the compute, storage, or network your instance uses. AWS bills that infrastructure separately under your own account, acting as merchant of record for both charges.

Vendor refund policy
This product is billed hourly based on usage; charges stop automatically when you terminate the instance, so there is no ongoing commitment to refund. If you believe you were billed in error, contact support@dcassociatesgroup.com within 30 days of the charge with your AWS account ID and the affected instance IDs, and we will review and, where a billing error is confirmed, issue a corresponding refund through AWS Marketplace.

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
[Security] Refreshed image: rebuilt on the latest hardened Amazon Linux 2023 baseline; all OS packages current at build.
Additional details
Usage instructions
Launch from AWS Marketplace (1-Click or EC2 console). Connect via SSH with your EC2 key pair: ssh -i <key> ec2-user@<public-ip>. Root login is disabled; use sudo. There are no passwords anywhere in this product. Verify the web server: curl -I http://<public-ip> returns HTTP 200 (NGINX welcome page). Manage the service with: sudo systemctl {status|reload|restart} nginx. Configuration lives under /etc/nginx (add server blocks in /etc/nginx/conf.d); web content under /usr/share/nginx/html; logs under /var/log/nginx (may contain client IPs - treat as personal data). To enable HTTPS, install your TLS certificate and key (e.g. under /etc/pki/nginx), add a server block on 443, and reload; port 443 is already open in the firewall. Backup: snapshot the EBS volume or archive /etc/nginx and your web root. Health monitoring: systemctl status nginx or an HTTP check on /. A single instance uses 1 EC2 instance + 1 gp3 EBS volume; no other AWS resources are created. Support: support@dcassociatesgroup.com.
