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.

Usage instructions
Thank you for purchasing the Debian 12 Minimal Hardened. This section explains how to launch, access, and verify your hardened instance.
Step 1. Launch the instance
Deploy this AMI from the AWS Marketplace console using your preferred instance type. During launch, select an existing SSH key pair or create a new one. This key is required to access the instance, as password authentication is disabled for security.
Step 2. Configure the security group
In the security group settings, allow inbound SSH traffic on port 22 only from your trusted IP address. Do not open other ports unless required by your workload. The UFW firewall inside the instance is already configured to deny all incoming traffic except SSH port 22.
Step 3. Connect to the instance
After the instance is running, connect using SSH with the default user admin and your private key:
ssh -i /path/to/your-key.pem admin@your-instance-public-ip
