- Compliance Reporting: Generate audit-ready reports (JSON/PDF) covering patch status, vulnerabilities, and hardening posture.
- System Drift Detection: Monitors critical files, users, packages, and services. Alerts on any unauthorized change.
- Automated Hardening: Applies security baselines on first boot including SSH key-only auth, firewall rules, and secure kernel parameters.
- One-Command Diagnostics: Run gigaops report for a complete system health summary.
Ideal For: Organizations running legacy applications on CentOS 7.9 that require ongoing security maintenance and compliance documentation.
Highlights

Dimensions summary
You pay by the hour for this hardened CentOS 7.9 image with Runtime Guard. Pricing follows the EC2 instance type you choose to run it on. Each dimension maps to one instance size, so your rate scales with the compute, memory, and hardware class you select. Smaller shared-core types like t2 and t3 sit at one end. Larger memory, compute, storage, GPU, and bare-metal types cost more per hour. You are billed only for the hours each instance runs. Software charges apply on top of the separate AWS infrastructure fees for the instance itself.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
Each hourly unit covers the software licence running on one EC2 instance of the type you select. One instance equals one metered unit. The rate matches the instance size you choose, from shared-core types up to bare-metal and GPU classes. You pay for each hour that instance runs.
The software fee meters running hours only. A stopped or paused instance does not accrue software charges. You may still pay separate AWS storage fees for the attached volume while the instance is stopped, but that is an AWS infrastructure cost, not the software licence.
Two charges apply at the same time. The software licence bills per running instance-hour at the rate for your chosen instance type. AWS separately bills the underlying compute, storage, and network for that instance. Both appear on your AWS invoice. Larger instance types raise both charges.

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.
