This product has charges associated with it for security hardening. This AWS-based ec2 is pre-configured with the latest Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9 image, hardened and optimized for security and compliance.
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 9 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.
Hardening is a process that helps protect against unauthorized access, denial of service, and other cyberthreats by limiting potential weaknesses that make systems vulnerable to cyberattacks.

You pay by the hour for this hardened Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9 image, billed per EC2 instance type you run. The many dimensions are not tiers or feature levels. Each one maps to a specific EC2 instance size, from small general-purpose types to large memory-, compute-, storage-, and GPU-optimized types. Your hourly rate rises with the size and capability of the instance you choose. You select the instance that fits your workload, and the software charge applies on top of standard AWS infrastructure costs. Volume and private offers are available directly from the vendor.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
What does one hourly unit cover for this hardened image?
Each hourly unit covers the software license for one running EC2 instance of the type you select. The rate attaches to that specific instance size. Standard AWS infrastructure charges for the compute, storage, and network apply separately on top of this software charge.
Am I charged the software fee when my instance is stopped?
The hourly software charge meters running time only. When you stop an instance, the software fee stops accruing. Stopped instances may still incur standard AWS storage fees for attached volumes, but that is separate from the license charge shown here.
What security and compliance work is included in the image at this Level 1 Foundational tier?
The image ships pre-hardened with baseline security controls aligned to recognized compliance frameworks, including DISA STIG, PCI-DSS, HIPAA, and NIST. It is validated and updated regularly with security patches, so you deploy a configured, compliant Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9 system without manual hardening.
