Overview
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.

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.

64-bit (x86) Amazon Machine Image (AMI)
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.
Version release notes
[Security] Refreshed image: rebuilt on the latest hardened Amazon Linux 2023 baseline; all OS packages current at build.

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 .
