Overview
This is a repackaged open source software product wherein additional charges apply for seller hardening, preconfiguration, and maintenance.
This CentOS Stream 9 Latest AMI is built for teams that want a clean CentOS Stream start on EC2, without spending the first hours on basic security and AWS tooling. The seller applied a practical security and operations baseline so instances start ready for production-style use.
What is included:
- SELinux configured in enforcing mode to strengthen mandatory access control
- Hardened SSH baseline with key-based authentication only, root login disabled, and restricted session settings
- fail2ban pre-configured to protect SSH against brute-force authentication attempts
- Amazon CloudWatch Agent pre-installed and pre-configured for system metrics and log collection
- AIDE pre-initialized to help detect unexpected changes on critical system files
- chrony configured for reliable time synchronization
- AWS Systems Manager (SSM) Agent pre-installed for centralized instance management
- AWS CLI v2 pre-installed for everyday AWS command-line operations
- Cloud-optimized sysctl tuning for typical EC2 network and memory behavior
- Built-in os-status utility for a quick view of services, resources, and security posture
Use this AMI as a solid starting point for application servers, admin hosts, and general CentOS Stream 9 workloads on Amazon EC2.
Highlights
- Security-hardened baseline: SELinux enforcing, SSH key-only access, root login disabled, fail2ban protection
- Pre-configured Amazon CloudWatch Agent for metrics and log collection out of the box. AIDE initialized for change detection on critical system files
- AWS integration ready: SSM Agent and AWS CLI v2 pre-installed. Cloud-optimized sysctl tuning and os-status utility for quick system health checks7

Dimensions summary
You pay by the hour for a hardened CentOS Stream 9 machine image. Pricing is not tiered by feature. Instead, each rate maps to a specific AWS EC2 instance type you choose to run. Your hourly cost tracks the compute size you select. Small general-purpose instances carry lower hourly rates, while large memory, compute, storage, and accelerated instances carry higher rates. You add the AWS infrastructure charge on top of the software rate. Cost scales with how many hours you run and which instance type you pick.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
Each rate covers the hardened CentOS Stream 9 software running on one EC2 instance for one hour. The instance type you pick sets the rate. Each running instance meters separately. Larger memory, compute, storage, or accelerated instance types carry higher software rates than smaller general-purpose types.
The software rate meters running hours only. A stopped instance does not accrue the hourly software charge. You may still pay AWS for attached storage while the instance is stopped, but that is separate from this listing's software rate.
You pay two charges per running hour. One is this listing's software rate, set by your chosen instance type. The other is the AWS infrastructure charge for that same instance. They add together on one invoice. Your instance type choice and hours run drive both.
