The Secure Transaction Cloud (STC) solutions offer NFV based virtualized secure payment applications for transaction transport, routing, and switching with specific Virtual Network Functions (VNF) for security (TLS, IPSec, SSH, HTTPS), transaction protocols (ISO20022, ISO8583, TPDU, VISA, XML), P2PE, Tokenization, Host Interfaces, Load Balancing etc. The virtualized capabilities allow the solution to support a wide range of payment types including Internet payments, mobile payments, POS based transactions which are IP/Mobile access based, ATM transactions, and all forms of eCommerce, mCommerce payments with PCI standards compliant security utilizing virtualized cloud native HSMs and Smart API integration.
Note that the product requires IAM and corresponding policies for CloudHSM integration. The STC Application launch results in creating and configuring CloudHSM clusters used for secure key management and cryptographic operations. The IAM role and policies created by this launch enable the EC2 instance to initialize, configure, and manage the CloudHSM environment as part of the secure transaction workflow. This ensures seamless and secure integration with AWS CloudHSM services.
Highlights
Reliable and scalable transaction transport, switching and routing systems to enable fast transaction processing of credit card authorization.
Decryption of encrypted data from payment devices, certificate verification of client POS devices and tokenization of card holder data are provided.
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.
You pay by the hour for the EC2 instance size you run this virtualized payment application on. All five options bill the same way and differ only by compute capacity. The m5.large sits at the low end, scaling up through m5.xlarge, m5.2xlarge, m5.4xlarge, and m5.8xlarge as you need more processing power. This follows a pay-as-you-grow model, so you choose the instance size that matches your transaction workload and pay only for the hours you run it. You can expand capacity by moving to a larger instance.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
What does one hour of an m5 instance actually cover for this payment application?
Each hour covers running one instance of the virtualized payment application on that EC2 size. A single instance handles routing, transaction processing, load balancing, and reporting together. You are billed per hour the chosen instance runs, based on its compute capacity. Stopping the instance stops the software hourly charge.
Am I charged when an instance is stopped or idle, for example a standby site?
The hourly software charge applies only while the instance runs. A fully stopped instance stops accruing the software fee. Underlying AWS storage or other resources may still bill separately. This matches the pay-as-you-grow model, so you pay for the hours your transaction workload actually runs.
What drives my cost across the five instance sizes?
Compute capacity drives cost. All five sizes bill the same hourly way and run the same application. Moving from m5.large up through m5.xlarge, m5.2xlarge, m5.4xlarge, and m5.8xlarge adds processing power for higher transaction volumes. You pick the size matching your workload and pay for the hours it runs.

STC Supports high availability using primary and secondary instances in two availability zones. VRRP is used to discover an instance failure.
CloudFormation Template (CFT)
AWS CloudFormation templates are JSON or YAML-formatted text files that simplify provisioning and management on AWS. The templates describe the service or application architecture you want to deploy, and AWS CloudFormation uses those templates to provision and configure the required services (such as Amazon EC2 instances or Amazon RDS DB instances). The deployed application and associated resources are called a "stack."
AWS Support is a one-on-one, fast-response support channel that is staffed 24x7x365 with experienced and technical support engineers. The service helps customers of all sizes and technical abilities to successfully utilize the products and features provided by Amazon Web Services.
