Docker Engine is the underlying technology behind Docker, providing a lightweight virtualization solution to run, create, and manage containers, which encapsulate applications with their dependencies in a portable environment. This is crucial because it simplifies development, supports CI/CD methodologies by ensuring consistency between development and production environments, reduces conflicts between teams working on different parts of a project, and streamlines deployment processes, making it easier to scale and maintain applications across diverse infrastructures.
This image comes meticulously preconfigured by Hardened Images, adhering to the Security Technical Implementation Guides (STIG), which set the gold standard for secure configuration. These guidelines are vendor-neutral, developed through a collaborative, consensus-based approach, and recognized by government, business, industry, and academia alike. Importantly, STIG standards also serve as a robust foundation for compliance with a wide range of cybersecurity frameworks. Tailored for system and application administrators, security experts, auditors, help desk staff, and platform deployment professionals, this image is optimized for those looking to develop, deploy, evaluate, or secure applications leveraging this Linux system. It significantly enhances operational efficiency, while also mitigating time, cost, and risk associated with deploying your organization's AWS solutions.

You pay by the hour for the Amazon EC2 instance you run this hardened Docker image on. Each dimension maps to one specific EC2 instance type, so pricing scales with the compute you pick. Smaller instances like t3.nano cost less per hour, while large and metal instances such as u7in-32tb.224xlarge cost more. Choices span general-purpose, compute, memory, storage, GPU, and machine-learning instance families. There are no tiers or upfront commitments. You are billed only for the hours each instance runs, and you can switch instance types as your needs change.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
What does one hourly unit include, and what am I actually paying for?
Each hourly unit covers the software license for the hardened Docker image running on one Amazon EC2 instance of the matching type. You pay for each hour that instance runs. The instance type you pick sets the vCPU, memory, and any GPU included. AWS charges the underlying compute separately.
Am I charged when my instance is stopped or paused?
The hourly software charge meters running time only. A stopped or paused instance does not accrue software charges. You may still pay AWS for attached storage while the instance is stopped. Charges resume automatically when you start the instance again.
What happens to my bill if I switch to a different instance type?
Charges follow whichever instance type is running at the time. When you switch, the new type's hourly rate applies from that point forward. There are no tiers or upfront commitments, so you can move between families as your workload changes without penalty.
