This product has charges associated with it for hardening, security configuration, and support.
Apache Tomcat 11 is the reference open-source implementation of the Jakarta EE Servlet, JSP, Expression Language and WebSocket specifications (the jakarta.* namespace, Java 17+). Unlike bare Tomcat AMIs that bind port 8080 to all interfaces, ship the insecure examples webapp, and leave the Manager exposed with a default password, this Lynxroute build is hardened out of the box: the HTTP connector is bound to loopback behind an nginx TLS perimeter on 443, the Manager and Host-Manager apps are firewalled off the public side and protected by a password generated at first boot, the insecure examples webapp is removed, the JVM heap is auto-sized to the instance, and the base is CIS Level 1 hardened Ubuntu 24.04 LTS.
Apache-2.0 license - fully auditable, no vendor lock-in.
Overview
This is a repackaged software product wherein additional charges apply for hardening, security configuration, and support.
WHAT IS APACHE TOMCAT
Apache Tomcat is the world's most widely deployed Java application server and the reference implementation of the Jakarta EE Servlet, JSP, Expression Language, WebSocket and Authentication specifications, maintained by the Apache Software Foundation. Tomcat 11 targets Jakarta EE 11 (the jakarta.* namespace, not the legacy javax.*) and requires Java 17 or newer. It runs servlet/JSP web applications and WAR files with a small footprint, fast startup and a mature, battle-tested codebase. This image ships the official Apache binary distribution (verified against the upstream SHA-512 checksum) running on OpenJDK 17, as a non-root service. Apache-2.0 license, no vendor lock-in.
WHAT THIS AMI ADDS
Security hardening:
- HTTP connector bound to 127.0.0.1:8080 (loopback only); nginx terminates TLS on port 443 and reverse-proxies to it - port 8080 is never exposed
- Manager and Host-Manager webapps are never reachable from the internet (nginx returns 403 at the perimeter, and Tomcat additionally restricts them to localhost connections)
- Manager admin password generated uniquely at first boot, written to /root/tomcat-credentials.txt (mode 600)
- The insecure bundled "examples" webapp (sample servlets with known demo vulnerabilities) is removed
- Runs as a non-root tomcat system user with UMask 0027
- JVM heap (-Xms/-Xmx) auto-sized to the instance RAM at first boot
- UFW firewall pre-configured (only ports 22 and 443 open)
- certbot pre-installed - one command swaps the self-signed cert for a CA-signed one
- CVE scan - every image is scanned for vulnerabilities before release
OS hardening (CIS Level 1):
- CIS Ubuntu 24.04 LTS Level 1 benchmark applied via ansible-lockdown
- auditd, fail2ban, AppArmor, SSH key-only, kernel hardening, IMDSv2 enforced
Compliance artifacts:
- SBOM - CycloneDX 1.6 at /etc/lynxroute/sbom.json
- CIS Conformance Report at /etc/lynxroute/cis-report.html
- CIS Tailored Profile at /usr/share/doc/lynxroute/CIS_TAILORED_PROFILE.md
Highlights
- Tomcat security baked in: the HTTP connector is bound to loopback behind an nginx TLS perimeter on 443, the Manager and Host-Manager apps are firewalled off the public side and protected by a password generated at first boot, and the insecure examples webapp is removed - unlike bare Tomcat AMIs that bind 8080 to all interfaces and leave the Manager exposed.
- CIS Level 1 hardened Ubuntu 24.04 LTS: auditd, fail2ban, AppArmor, SSH key-only, IMDSv2 enforced. CVE-scanned before every release. SBOM (CycloneDX) and CIS Conformance Report included.
- Official Apache Tomcat 11 on OpenJDK 17, Jakarta EE 11 (jakarta.* namespace). Drop a WAR into /opt/tomcat/webapps to deploy. JVM heap auto-sized to your instance. Apache-2.0 license - fully auditable, no vendor lock-in.

t3.medium Recommended | $0.05 |
t3.large | $0.05 |
t3.small | $0.03 |
Dimensions summary
You pay by the hour based on the EC2 instance size you choose. Three options are available: t3.small, t3.medium, and t3.large. These are the same hardened application server image running on different compute sizes. The instances differ in CPU and memory capacity, so hourly pricing scales with the resources each size provides. You pick the size that fits your workload. Billing is usage-based, charged for the hours each instance runs, with no upfront commitment or fixed term.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
Each option maps to an AWS EC2 t3 instance. The t3.small, t3.medium, and t3.large sizes offer increasing CPU and memory. You choose based on your workload. Each running instance counts for billing per hour, regardless of how much traffic your application server handles.
Software charges apply only while an instance runs. A fully stopped instance stops accruing hourly software fees. You may still pay underlying AWS storage costs for the stopped instance. The software meter tracks running hours only, with no upfront commitment or fixed term.
Each image ships hardened to CIS Level 1 on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS. It includes CVE scanning, a bundled software bill of materials, a CIS Conformance Report, firewall, and unique credentials generated at first boot. This applies across all three instance sizes at no separate charge.

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.
Version release notes
Updated to version 11.0.24.
Additional details
Usage instructions
- Launch instance (t3.medium recommended; t3.small minimum)
- Open Security Group - allow TCP 443 from your IP
- SSH: ssh -i key.pem ubuntu@<PUBLIC_IP>
- Read credentials: sudo cat /root/tomcat-credentials.txt
- Open https://<PUBLIC_IP>/ in your browser - accept the self-signed certificate warning. The default Tomcat landing page (ROOT app) is served over TLS.
- Deploy your own application: copy a .war file into /opt/tomcat/webapps/ (for example myapp.war auto-deploys), then browse https://<PUBLIC_IP>/myapp/
- Manage Tomcat via the Manager app (bound to localhost, never exposed on 443) over an SSH tunnel: ssh -i key.pem -L 8080:127.0.0.1:8080 ubuntu@<PUBLIC_IP> open http://127.0.0.1:8080/manager/html (user admin, password from the credentials file)
Tomcat's HTTP connector is bound to 127.0.0.1:8080; nginx terminates TLS on port 443 and reverse-proxies to it. The Manager admin password is generated at first boot and saved to /root/tomcat-credentials.txt. The JVM heap is sized automatically from the instance RAM.
Replace the self-signed TLS certificate with a CA-signed certificate for production use: sudo certbot --nginx -d yourdomain.com
