This product has charges associated with it for a hardened, minimal Oracle Linux 10 image, newest 10.x (now 10.2): SELinux enforcing, root login disabled, key-only SSH, audit rules, PAM lockout and sysctl hardening, each verified on a booted instance. 8GB size (no LVM), UEFI/GPT, cloud-init, ENA and NVMe, UEK.
Overview
This is a repackaged open source software product wherein additional charges apply for a hardened, minimal Oracle Linux 10 image built and verified by Rinne Labs. Rolling: always the newest 10.x release, currently built from 10.2.
What you are paying for
Oracle Linux is free and open source software, downloadable at no cost from Oracle. This listing charges neither for the operating system nor for support.
The charge covers the hardened build: a security baseline applied to the image at build time, an automated assertion suite that proves every control of that baseline is live on a booted instance before the image is published, and continued rebuilds carrying current security updates.
Hardening baseline
Every control below is applied at build time and verified by an automated assertion against a booted instance before publication. The image records the baseline it carries in a versioned marker at /etc/rinne-labs-hardening.
- SELinux enforcing, at runtime and persistently across reboots
- Root login over SSH disabled
- Key-only SSH: password and keyboard-interactive authentication refused
- Reduced SSH surface: X11 forwarding off, lowered MaxAuthTries and LoginGraceTime, empty passwords and host-based authentication refused
- Kernel network hardening via sysctl, confirmed live in the running kernel
- Audit rules loaded in the running kernel, auditd enabled at boot
- Account lockout via pam_faillock, with a bounded unlock interval and root exempt
- Password quality enforcement via pam_pwquality
- A default umask of 027 for login shells
- Login banners on console and network logins
- The default user's authorized_keys restricted to mode 0600
Key Features
- Built from the official Oracle Linux 10.2 ISO, "Minimal Install" package group; moves to each new 10.x release as the distribution ships it
- 8GB root volume, no LVM, for a fast boot and a small storage footprint
- UEFI/GPT boot with an XFS root filesystem
- cloud-init configured; root partition and filesystem grow to the volume size at first boot
- Elastic Network Adapter (ENA) and NVMe drivers present and verified
- AWS CLI preinstalled
- Distribution security updates applied at build time
- Boots Oracle's Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel (UEK); the Red Hat Compatible Kernel is not installed
Ideal For
- Apache HTTP Server and NGINX web and reverse-proxy tiers
- PostgreSQL, MySQL, MariaDB and MongoDB database hosts
- Jenkins, GitLab CI and self-hosted GitHub Actions runners
- Terraform, OpenTofu and Ansible control nodes
- Docker and Podman container hosts, and Kubernetes worker nodes
- Auto Scaling groups and immutable golden-image fleets
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I connect? SSH in as ec2-user with the key pair you chose at launch: ssh -i your-key.pem ec2-user@your-instance. Password login is disabled and root may not log in over SSH; run sudo -i for a root shell.
Do I need a subscription? No. Oracle Linux is free and open source, and the image updates from the distribution's public repositories.
Which version do I get? The newest Oracle Linux 10.x at build time: 10.2 today. It is rebuilt on each 10.x point release and as security updates ship. For one fixed minor, use the pinned Oracle Linux 10.2 listing.
Who maintains this image? Rinne Labs. Nothing is published until it passes the full assertion suite on a booted instance.
Why Rinne Labs
- Every image comes out of the same reproducible, fully automated build pipeline, starting from the distribution's official ISO. Nothing is hand-edited in.
- Every image is validated by an automated assertion suite against a booted instance, covering the hardening baseline, the cloud drivers, the repositories and the applied updates. An image that fails an assertion is not published.

Highlights
- Hardened at build time and proven on a booted instance before publication: SELinux enforcing, root login over SSH disabled, key-only authentication, a reduced SSH surface, kernel network hardening, audit rules loaded in the running kernel, account lockout and password quality through PAM, a 027 umask and login banners. Every control carries an automated assertion that must pass before the image ships, and the image records its baseline at /etc/rinne-labs-hardening.
- Minimal by construction: built from the official Oracle Linux 10.2 ISO, the newest 10.x release at build time, using only the "Minimal Install" package group, on an 8GB root volume with no LVM, UEFI/GPT boot and an XFS root filesystem. Fewer packages means a smaller attack surface, quicker launches for auto-scaling groups, and lower EBS cost on every instance you run.
- Ready for AWS from first boot: cloud-init expands the root partition and filesystem to the volume size you launch with, the Elastic Network Adapter (ENA) and NVMe drivers are present and verified, and the AWS CLI is preinstalled. The image boots Oracle's Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel (UEK); the Red Hat Compatible Kernel is not installed.

Dimensions summary
You pay by the hour for this Oracle Linux 10 image, billed only while an instance runs. There is no upfront commitment or fixed term. Each dimension maps to a specific EC2 instance type, so your rate follows the instance you choose. Options span general-purpose (m, t), compute-optimized (c), memory-optimized (r, x, z, u), storage-optimized (d, i), and accelerated computing (g, p, f, inf, trn, vt, dl) families. Within each family, larger sizes carry higher hourly rates. Your total cost scales with the instance size and hours used, on top of standard AWS infrastructure charges.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
You get a virtual machine running Oracle Linux 10 in a hardened, minimal installation. The image ships with security updates current at release, SELinux enabled, root user disabled, cloud-init enabled, and an expandable root disk. Your chosen EC2 instance type sets the CPU, memory, and hourly rate.
The software fee meters running time only. A stopped or paused instance accrues no hourly software charge. You may still pay standard AWS charges for attached storage while the instance is stopped. Charges resume once you start the instance again.
Each dimension maps to one EC2 instance type, so switching sizes changes your hourly rate. Larger sizes within a family carry higher rates. The change is not automatic; you select the instance type at launch. Your bill reflects the running instance plus underlying AWS charges.
