This is a repackaged open source software product wherein additional charges apply for custom operational agents. STIG compliance pre-applied with continuous drift alerts, automated re-validation, and audit-ready reports. Deploy a STIG-compliant RHEL environment without manual hardening.
GigaOps STIG Console delivers a DISA STIG-hardened RHEL 8.8 image with continuous compliance monitoring built by Gigabits. Security baselines are applied before you launch, and the agent ensures they stay intact.
Key Features:
STIG Pre-Applied: DISA STIG controls implemented out of the box with documented evidence of each control applied.
Drift Alerts: Any change that weakens STIG posture triggers an immediate alert with the responsible user and process.
Continuous Validation: Scheduled re-checks verify all STIG controls remain active and no non-compliant changes have been introduced.
Audit Report Generator: One-command PDF/JSON report documenting every STIG control with pass/fail status.
Remediation Guidance: Failed checks include step-by-step fix instructions.
Patch Management: Scheduled updates that preserve STIG compliance with pre/post validation.
Ideal For: Defense contractors, government agencies, and regulated industries requiring DISA STIG-compliant RHEL with documented proof of adherence.

You pay by the hour for this hardened Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8.8 image with STIG security controls. Pricing is not tiered. Instead, each dimension maps to a specific AWS EC2 instance type you choose to run. The software fee scales with the instance size and family you select. Smaller instances like t3.nano cost less per hour, while large compute, memory, storage, and GPU instances cost more. You are billed only for the hours each instance runs. Add AWS infrastructure charges separately. Pick the instance that fits your workload size and performance needs.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
What does one hourly unit map to for this image?
Each dimension maps to a single AWS EC2 instance running the hardened image, billed per hour of running time. The software fee reflects the instance type and size you launch. One instance equals one hourly meter. Running several instances multiplies the charge by the number of active instances.
Am I charged the software fee when my instance is stopped?
The software fee meters running hours only. A stopped or terminated instance stops accruing the hourly software charge. Underlying AWS storage and other infrastructure fees may still apply while an instance is stopped, but those are separate from the software charge on this listing.
Why do larger instance types cost more per hour for the same image?
The software fee is set per instance type. Larger compute, memory, storage, or GPU instances carry a higher hourly software rate than smaller ones like t3.nano. The image itself is the same; the rate scales with the instance family and size you select for your workload.
