This product includes charges for the pre-configured compliance and security setup, along with ongoing image maintenance. HIPAA-compliant Oracle Linux 10 is designed to help organizations meet the rigorous privacy and security requirements of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), safeguarding protected health information (PHI) in the cloud.
This Oracle Linux 10 virtual machine image is fully preconfigured to meet HIPAA compliance requirements and deploys in minutes. It eliminates the weeks of manual hardening and configuration typically required with a baseline operating system and delivers hundreds of tested security controls out of the box, providing a proven secure foundation for workloads handling protected health information (PHI).
The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act HIPAA sets national standards for the protection of sensitive patient data. HIPAA compliance ensures that systems handling PHI implement the necessary administrative, physical, and technical safeguards to maintain the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of health information. This is critical for healthcare providers, insurers, and any organization that stores, processes, or transmits PHI. Meeting HIPAA requirements on a baseline operating system can take significant time and specialized expertise.
This preconfigured Oracle Linux 10 image accelerates compliance by delivering a secure, HIPAA-aligned environment from the moment it launches. It reduces risk from misconfiguration, saves engineering resources, and provides a tested, compliant foundation from day one.
Foundation Security images are updated regularly to keep pace with evolving security threats and compliance requirements, ensuring workloads remain protected over time. This offering is ideal for healthcare organizations, life sciences companies, and any business that must safeguard sensitive health data while meeting audit and regulatory requirements.
Foundation Security has a team of industry experts with deep knowledge of HIPAA, NIST, and other compliance frameworks, ensuring every image is built and maintained to the highest security standards. The team also provides ongoing support to help customers maintain compliance and adapt to evolving regulations.

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 Oracle Linux 10 (ARM) machine image running on your chosen AWS ARM-based EC2 instance. Each dimension maps to one instance type, so pricing scales with the compute size and family you pick. Smaller sizes like nano, micro, medium, and large cost less per hour than larger sizes such as 8xlarge, 16xlarge, 48xlarge, and metal options. Families cover general purpose (m, t, a1), compute (c), memory (r, x), storage (i, im, is), and graphics (g5g). You are billed only for the hours you run.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
What do I get for one hour of a chosen instance dimension?
Each dimension is one AWS ARM-based EC2 instance running the hardened Oracle Linux 10 (ARM) image. One hour bills one running instance of that type. The image ships with security controls built to STIG and NIST hardening frameworks. Compute size and family determine the resources you receive.
Am I charged when my instance is stopped or paused?
Software charges meter running hours only. A fully stopped instance stops accruing the hourly software fee. Underlying AWS storage costs for the volume may still apply while the instance is stopped. Restarting the instance resumes the hourly software charge automatically.
If I switch to a larger instance type, how does my cost change?
Each instance type maps to its own hourly rate. Moving from a smaller size like large to a bigger size like 8xlarge or a metal option changes your rate to that type's price. You pay the new type's hourly rate only for the hours it runs.

An AMI is a virtual image that provides the information required to launch an instance. Amazon EC2 (Elastic Compute Cloud) instances are virtual servers on which you can run your applications and workloads, offering varying combinations of CPU, memory, storage, and networking resources. You can launch as many instances from as many different AMIs as you need.
