This is a repackaged software product wherein additional charges apply for hardening. This AWS-based ec2 comes pre-configured with the latest Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8 image that is optimized for security, featuring advanced hardening measures to help protect against vulnerabilities and ensure compliance with industry best practices.
This configuration includes stringent access controls, regular updates, and robust settings to enhance overall system integrity and resilience.
Implementing this foundational hardened image can help organizations establish a baseline level of security and reduce their risk exposure to common cyber threats. However, it's important to note that these benchmarks should be considered as a starting point, and organizations may need to customize them based on their specific security requirements and risk profile.
Key features:
This hardened image map to many established standards and regulatory frameworks, including the NIST Cybersecurity Framework (CSF), the ISO 27000 series of standards, PCI DSS, HIPAA, and others.

You pay by the hour for this hardened Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8 image, billed per running instance. Each dimension maps to a specific AWS EC2 instance type, so your rate depends on the compute size you select. Options span general-purpose, compute-optimized, memory-optimized, storage-optimized, GPU, and high-performance families, ranging from small shared instances to very large multi-core machines. Larger instances carry higher hourly rates. You choose the instance type that fits your workload; there are no tiers or upfront commitments in this usage-based model. The Level 1: Foundational hardening applies across all instance types.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
What does one hourly unit cover for this hardened image?
One unit is one running EC2 instance of the type you select, billed per hour. The rate combines the software license for the hardened Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8 image with that instance size. You pay for each instance you run, counted separately.
Am I charged when my instance is stopped or powered off?
The hourly software charge meters running time only. A fully stopped instance does not accrue software fees. You may still pay underlying AWS storage costs for attached volumes while the instance is stopped, but the image license bills active hours.
Is this pay-as-you-go, or do I commit to a term upfront?
This is a usage-based model. You pay by the hour for each running instance, with no upfront commitment or fixed term. You can start, stop, and switch instance types as your workload changes. Your rate follows the instance type you run at any given time.

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.
