The Secure Transaction Cloud (STC) solutions offer NFV based virtualized secure payment applications for transaction transport, routing, and switching with specific Virtual Network Functions (VNF) for security (TLS, IPSec, SSH, HTTPS), transaction protocols (ISO20022, ISO8583, TPDU, VISA, XML), P2PE, Tokenization, Host Interfaces, Load Balancing etc. The virtualized capabilities allow the solution to support a wide range of payment types including Internet payments, mobile payments, POS based transactions which are IP/Mobile access based, ATM transactions, and all forms of eCommerce, mCommerce payments with PCI standards compliant security utilizing virtualized cloud native HSMs and Smart API integration
Note that the product requires IAM and corresponding policies for CloudHSM integration. The STC Application launch results in creating and configuring CloudHSM clusters used for secure key management and cryptographic operations. The IAM role and policies created by this launch enable the EC2 instance to initialize, configure, and manage the CloudHSM environment as part of the secure transaction workflow. This ensures seamless and secure integration with AWS CloudHSM services.
Highlights
Reliable and scalable transaction transport, switching and routing systems to enable fast transaction processing of credit card authorization.
Decryption of encrypted data from payment devices, certificate verification of client POS devices and tokenization of card holder data are provided.
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 based on the compute instance size you run. The five options are all m5 instances, sized from m5.large up through m5.8xlarge. They differ only in compute capacity, not in features. Larger instances handle more transaction volume and processing load. This is usage-based billing, so you pay for the hours each instance runs. You can pick the instance size that matches your throughput needs and scale by choosing a different size as demand grows.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
What does one hourly unit represent for each m5 instance size?
Each unit is one running instance-hour of the m5 size you launch. An m5.large through m5.8xlarge each meters the hours it stays running. Larger sizes carry more compute cores and memory, so they handle more transaction routing and processing load per instance.
Am I charged when an m5 instance is stopped or idle?
The software meters running hours only. A fully stopped instance stops accruing software charges. Underlying AWS storage tied to a stopped instance may still bill separately. To avoid software charges during idle periods, stop the instance rather than leaving it running.
How does hourly usage billing work as my transaction volume grows?
You pay for actual instance-hours with no upfront commitment. As demand rises, you can move to a larger m5 size for more capacity per instance. This pay-as-you-grow model suits variable workloads, since charges track the hours each instance runs.

STC Supports high availability using primary and secondary instances in two availability zones. VRRP is used to discover an instance failure.
CloudFormation Template (CFT)
AWS CloudFormation templates are JSON or YAML-formatted text files that simplify provisioning and management on AWS. The templates describe the service or application architecture you want to deploy, and AWS CloudFormation uses those templates to provision and configure the required services (such as Amazon EC2 instances or Amazon RDS DB instances). The deployed application and associated resources are called a "stack."
AWS Support is a one-on-one, fast-response support channel that is staffed 24x7x365 with experienced and technical support engineers. The service helps customers of all sizes and technical abilities to successfully utilize the products and features provided by Amazon Web Services.
