    CentOS 10 | Hardened by ProComputers

    This CentOS 10 image has charges associated with it for security hardening and optimization provided by ProComputers. CentOS Stream 10 follows the active development line of Red Hat Enterprise Linux, so teams running it on AWS EC2 can work with kernel, toolchain, and library changes before they land in a stable enterprise release. The AMI boots quickly, applies instance settings through cloud-init at first launch, and uses ENA drivers for high-throughput networking. SELinux runs in enforcing mode, password logins are turned off in favor of SSH keys, and the package base stays compatible with software written for the RHEL family. That combination makes CentOS 10 a practical choice for application development, build servers, container hosts, and staging systems that need to reflect where enterprise Linux is heading. ProComputers builds, tests, and refreshes the image so every launch starts from a clean, consistent baseline.
