This product has charges associated with it for technical support with a 24-hour response time. This AMI provides Rocky Linux 9.8 on a minimal installation with the latest updates, repackaged by Easycloud with continuous support.
This is a repackaged open source software product wherein additional charges apply for technical support with a 24-hour response time. Rocky Linux 9.8, delivered as a minimal ARM64 (AWS Graviton) installation, is included in this AMI, repackaged by Easycloud. It provides a stable, community-driven enterprise Linux platform fully binary-compatible with RHEL 9, deliberately engineered to combine Red Hat ecosystem compatibility with the price-performance of ARM64 Graviton instances.
Core Features & Integrations
Rocky Linux 9 Foundation: Provides a robust, enterprise-grade underlying OS with deep structural alignment to RHEL, ensuring high security and seamless ecosystem compatibility with AlmaLinux, CentOS Stream, and traditional CentOS deployments. Running natively on ARM64, it takes full advantage of AWS Graviton processors for superior price-performance and energy efficiency.
Rocky Linux 9.8 (ARM64 Minimal): A community-driven enterprise Linux distribution founded as the spiritual successor to CentOS, rebuilt bug-for-bug compatible from RHEL 9 sources and backed by the Rocky Enterprise Software Foundation. The minimal installation includes only the essential components required to boot and operate the system, keeping the image lean and the attack surface small.
Key Benefits
Bug-for-Bug RHEL Compatibility: Rocky Linux 9.8 is rebuilt directly from RHEL 9 sources, giving you full binary compatibility with the Red Hat 9 ecosystem, predictable point releases, and a maintenance lifecycle running to May 2032. The same RPM packages, SELinux policies, and systemd units your existing automation already targets behave identically here, now on Graviton hardware.
Ideal Foundation for Modern Cloud Infrastructure: By starting with a bloat-free Rocky Linux 9 minimal installation, maximum CPU and memory are dedicated entirely to your own workloads. This makes it the perfect, conflict-free foundation for web and application hosting including Nginx, Apache HTTPD, Apache Tomcat, HAProxy, and WordPress, as well as data layers built on MySQL, MariaDB, PostgreSQL, Redis, and Elasticsearch. It seamlessly integrates with modern runtimes and container platforms (Python, Node.js, OpenJDK, Docker, Kubernetes), all of which ship native ARM64 builds, and serves as a rock-solid backbone for DevOps and observability stacks (Jenkins, HashiCorp Vault, Grafana, Prometheus, RabbitMQ), ensuring your enterprise Linux infrastructure scales without limits.
Production Ready & Expert Support: Secured with the latest OS patches. It delivers a highly stable environment, fully supported by comprehensive documentation and fast technical assistance (guaranteed 24-hour response time) to ensure your infrastructure runs smoothly without costly downtime.

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.
Pricing is based on actual usage, with charges varying according to how much you consume. Subscriptions have no end date and may be canceled any time. Alternatively, you can pay upfront for a contract, which typically covers your anticipated usage for the contract duration. Any usage beyond contract will incur additional usage-based costs.
Additional AWS infrastructure costs may apply. Use the AWS Pricing Calculator to estimate your infrastructure costs.
You pay by the hour for the Rocky Linux 9 ARM64 Minimal software plus vendor support, billed per running EC2 instance. The price you pay depends on which ARM64 (Graviton) instance type you launch. Options span general-purpose (m-series, a1, t4g), compute-optimized (c-series), memory-optimized (r-series, x-series), storage-optimized (i-series, im4gn, is4gen), GPU (g5g), and HPC (hpc7g) families. Within each family, larger sizes carry more vCPU and memory and cost more per hour. Metal sizes run on dedicated hardware. Standard AWS charges for compute, storage, and data transfer apply separately.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
What does one hourly unit cover for billing?
One unit is one running EC2 instance of the ARM64 (Graviton) type you launch. You pay the hourly software plus support rate for each active instance. Metal sizes bill as one instance running on dedicated hardware. Running more instances multiplies the charge per instance.
Am I charged when an instance is stopped or powered off?
The software and support fee meters running time only. A stopped instance does not accrue the hourly software charge. Underlying AWS storage for that instance may still bill separately. Charges resume when you start the instance again.
What support is included, and does it cover OS hardening or compliance work?
The hourly rate bundles vendor support with the Rocky Linux 9 ARM64 Minimal image. Separate professional services like security hardening to CIS Benchmarks, compliance mapping for PCI-DSS, SOX, and HIPAA, and performance tuning are engagements arranged with the vendor, not part of this hourly listing.
