This image includes Docker Engine, a lightweight virtualization platform that allows you to build, run, and manage containers. Docker simplifies development, enables consistency between environments, reduces integration issues, and accelerates deployment across diverse infrastructures-making it a key component in modern DevOps and CI/CD workflows.
The Oracle Linux 9 virtual machine is pre-hardened by Hardened Images using Security Technical Implementation Guides (STIG) as a baseline. These industry-recognized benchmarks are developed through a collaborative process and serve as a foundation for meeting a wide range of cybersecurity and compliance requirements.
Designed for system administrators, security engineers, developers, auditors, and platform teams, this image helps reduce the time, cost, and risk associated with securing cloud workloads. It is ideal for deploying secure applications in regulated or sensitive environments.
Hardened Images serves as a trusted partner to small and mid-sized businesses, helping them deploy secure cloud infrastructure from day one. With this image, you can launch Oracle Linux 9 confidently, knowing it is optimized for security, performance, and operational reliability.

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 each running instance, with no upfront commitment. Pricing is billed per hour based on the AWS EC2 instance type you select. Every listed option maps to a specific ARM-based instance size, from small burstable types like t4g.nano up to large metal and 48xlarge configurations. Compute-optimized, memory-optimized, general-purpose, storage-dense, and GPU instance families are all covered. Larger instances with more vCPUs, memory, or storage carry a proportionally higher hourly rate. You choose the instance that fits your workload and scale up or down as needs change.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
What does one billing unit represent for each instance type?
Each unit is one hour that a single instance runs. You are billed for the ARM-based EC2 instance you launch, counted per instance-hour. Two instances running for one hour each bill as two instance-hours. The rate matches the specific instance type you select.
Am I charged when an instance is stopped or paused?
Hourly software charges apply only while an instance runs. A stopped or paused instance stops accruing software charges. Note that underlying AWS storage or other resources may still incur separate AWS fees, but the software meters running time only.
What does the hardened Oracle Linux 9 image add beyond the base instance?
The image is configured to STIG security recommendations to reduce system vulnerabilities. It aims to protect against denial of service, unauthorized data access, and other threats. This hardened configuration is included with every instance type you run, regardless of which size you choose.

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.
