Overview
This is a repackaged open source software product wherein additional charges apply for CIS Level 1 security hardening, and Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel optimization.
Overview: Metabloc's Hardened Oracle Linux 9 provides an automated, security-hardened enterprise Linux baseline designed specifically for production AWS environments. Built on Oracle Linux 9 with the Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel (UEK), this pre-configured AMI removes the overhead of manual post-launch OS hardening while maintaining strict enterprise compliance. Technical Modifications and Baked-In Value: This AMI includes specific engineering customizations and system modifications applied directly to the image:
- CIS Benchmark and Security Controls: - Hardened baseline configurations aligned with CIS (Center for Internet Security) Level 1 benchmarks. - SELinux enforced out of the box with verified core policies. - SSH daemon secured: root login disabled, modern cipher suites enforced, and strict key-based authentication. - Unnecessary legacy network protocols disabled (DCCP, SCTP, RDS, TIPC) to minimize attack surfaces. - System auditd rules configured for administrative event tracking.
- Kernel and Cloud Architecture Tuning: - Built with Oracle Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel (UEK) tuned specifically for memory scheduling. - Cloud-optimized sysctl parameters configured for high-throughput AWS virtualized networking (ENA) and virtual memory efficiency. - Pre-installed and verified AWS Cloud-Init routines for consistent orchestration across AWS VPC infrastructure.
- System Hygiene: - All build-time temporary logs, package manager caches, and installation keys have been purged to ensure a pristine, compliance-ready deployment.
Highlights
- Pre-configured to pull patches and updates directly from Oracle Linux repositories.
- Engineered for production environments, providing a lightweight footprint suitable for database workloads, middleware deployments, and cloud-native applications running on Oracle's databases and application stack.
- The image ships ready for production and development workloads including legacy application hosting and database migrations, with Oracle Linux's built-in cloud-native computing tools, virtualization, and automation capabilities.
