security best practices for RHEL 8, reducing the manual effort needed
to meet common compliance baselines.
SELinux Enforcement - SELinux is enabled and set to
enforcing mode, providing mandatory access controls that limit the
impact of application vulnerabilities.
Secure SSH Configuration - SSH access is hardened to
restrict unauthorized access and align with security best practices.
Enterprise-Grade Foundation - Built on RHEL 8.10,
which provides long-term stability, regular security patches, and
broad application compatibility.
Designed for Modern Enterprise Workloads on AWS
This hardened RHEL 8.10 AMI supports a wide range of enterprise use
cases, including:
Compliance-sensitive applications - Deploy workloads
that require a hardened OS baseline for internal security audits or
regulatory alignment.
Cloud-native application development - Build and run
containerized and microservices-based applications on a secure
foundation.
Automation and IT operations - Use as a hardened base
image for automated infrastructure provisioning and configuration
management.
Web application hosting - Run production web servers
and application stacks with security controls already in place.
Middleware and enterprise platforms - Host middleware,
databases, and enterprise applications with reduced attack surface.

You pay by the hour for a hardened Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8.10 machine image. Each dimension maps to one AWS EC2 instance type, so pricing follows the compute size and family you choose. Smaller instances like t2.micro or c1.medium bill at lower hourly rates. Rates rise as you move to larger sizes and specialized families for memory, storage, high-performance computing, or GPU and accelerator workloads. You run only the instances you need and stop paying when they stop. No upfront commitment or fixed term applies.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
What does one billed unit cover for this product?
One unit is one running EC2 instance of the type you pick, billed per hour. It bundles the hardened Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8.10 machine image with that instance size. If you run several instances, each one meters its own hours separately and adds to your bill.
Am I charged when I stop or pause an instance?
The software charge meters running hours only. When you stop an instance, the hourly software fee stops accruing. Stopped instances may still incur separate AWS storage fees for attached volumes, but those are billed by AWS, not by this listing.
Do larger instance types cost more per hour than smaller ones?
Yes. Each dimension maps to one instance type, and the hourly rate scales with the size and family you choose. A small general-purpose type bills at a lower rate than a large memory, storage, or GPU-accelerated type. You are not locked in and can switch types between runs.
