This product has charges associated with it for the hardened, security-maintained image. A CIS-hardened Oracle Linux 10 image with SELinux enforcing, automatic security updates, and SSH lockdown, security-maintained by Verified Images (independent; not affiliated with Oracle).
Overview
This is a repackaged open source software product wherein additional charges apply for the hardened, security-maintained image (rebuilt and re-verified as new CVEs are disclosed).
Verified Images publishes a hardened, production-ready build of Oracle Linux 10, a free, enterprise-grade, RHEL-compatible Linux distribution. The image ships secure by default and stays current automatically, so you can launch trusted Linux infrastructure in minutes.
What's included:
- A security-hardened baseline aligned with the CIS Oracle Linux 10 Benchmark, Level 1 (Server profile), independently verified with OpenSCAP against the closest published SCAP Security Guide CIS Level 1 profile (the RHEL-10-compatible AlmaLinux 10 content; no native Oracle Linux CIS profile is published in the SCAP Security Guide, so the substitution is disclosed here; 100.0% of applicable Level 1 controls pass, with 71 documented cloud-compatibility exceptions; verification report available on request): SSH password authentication and root login are disabled, SELinux runs enforcing (targeted policy), a kernel/network sysctl hardening profile is applied, password-aging and umask defaults are set, and no default passwords or SSH keys are baked in. This hardening also maps to system-hardening requirements in PCI DSS, NIST 800-53, and HIPAA technical safeguards. Verified Images is not affiliated with or certified by the Center for Internet Security; CIS Benchmarks is a trademark of CIS.
- SELinux enforcing out of the box (targeted policy), not just installed: a mandatory access control layer on top of standard Linux permissions.
- Automatic security updates enabled out of the box (dnf-automatic), using Oracle Linux's free public repositories, keeping the OS patched against CVEs without manual intervention.
- Time synchronized against the EC2 link-local NTP source (chrony) and an audit trail via the file-integrity tool AIDE (database initialized on first boot, so it reflects your instance, not the build pipeline).
- AWS Systems Manager (SSM) agent preinstalled for keyless, auditable instance management.
- Ongoing security maintenance: the hardened image is rebuilt and re-verified against the CIS benchmark as new CVEs are disclosed, so new launches stay current.

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
Initial release: hardened Oracle Linux 10 image with SELinux enforcing, dnf-automatic security updates (free public repos), SSH lockdown, chrony time sync, AIDE file-integrity monitoring, and SSM agent preinstalled. CIS Level 1 verification via OpenSCAP against the closest published CIS profile (AlmaLinux 10, RHEL-10-compatible; substitution disclosed, no native Oracle Linux CIS profile is published); 100.0% of applicable Level 1 controls pass, with 71 documented cloud-compatibility exceptions.
Additional details
Usage instructions
-
Launch this AMI from AWS Marketplace. Choose an instance type (t3.small recommended) and assign your own EC2 key pair for SSH access.
-
Security group: open TCP 22 (SSH) from your IP. No other ports are required by the base image.
-
Connect via SSH as the "cloud-user" user with your key pair: ssh -i /path/to/your-key.pem cloud-user@<public-ip> Password authentication and root login are disabled by design. Use "sudo" for privileged commands.
-
SELinux runs enforcing (targeted policy) by default. Check status any time with: getenforce Automatic security updates are enabled (dnf-automatic) from Oracle Linux's free public repositories; no action needed for routine patching.
-
(Optional) Manage the instance without SSH keys using AWS Systems Manager: attach an IAM role with the AmazonSSMManagedInstanceCore policy, and the instance will appear in Systems Manager.
-
Questions: support@verified-images.com . Include your instance ID and a description of the issue.
