Docker Engine is the underlying technology behind Docker, providing a lightweight virtualization solution to run, create, and manage containers, which encapsulate applications with their dependencies in a portable environment. This is crucial because it simplifies development, supports CI/CD methodologies by ensuring consistency between development and production environments, reduces conflicts between teams working on different parts of a project, and streamlines deployment processes, making it easier to scale and maintain applications across diverse infrastructures.
This image comes meticulously preconfigured by Hardened Images, adhering to the Security Technical Implementation Guides (STIG), which set the gold standard for secure configuration. These guidelines are vendor-neutral, developed through a collaborative, consensus-based approach, and recognized by government, business, industry, and academia alike. Importantly, STIG standards also serve as a robust foundation for compliance with a wide range of cybersecurity frameworks. Tailored for system and application administrators, security experts, auditors, help desk staff, and platform deployment professionals, this image is optimized for those looking to develop, deploy, evaluate, or secure applications leveraging this Linux system. It significantly enhances operational efficiency, while also mitigating time, cost, and risk associated with deploying your organization's AWS solutions.
As a trusted consulting ally for small to medium-sized businesses, Hardened Images empowers you to establish and maintain a secure presence in the cloud. We are your dedicated experts in cloud virtual machines, enabling you to commence your projects with the assurance of top-tier security.

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 a hardened Ubuntu 22.04 image running on ARM-based EC2 instances. Each dimension maps to a specific AWS instance type, so pricing scales with the compute you choose. Options span several instance families: general purpose (m, a, t), compute optimized (c), memory optimized (r, x), and storage or I/O focused (i). Within each family, sizes range from small (medium, large) up to metal builds. Larger sizes carry higher hourly rates. You select the instance that fits your workload, and the hourly charge reflects that instance's capacity.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
What do I actually get for the hourly rate on each instance?
You get a hardened Ubuntu 22.04 image with Docker pre-installed, running on the ARM-based EC2 instance you select. The hourly rate covers the software license only. The underlying EC2 compute, storage, and data transfer are billed separately by AWS at their own rates.
Am I charged when my instance is stopped or paused?
The software license meters running hours only. When you stop an instance, the hourly software charge stops. You may still incur AWS storage fees for the attached volume while the instance is stopped, but that is a separate AWS charge, not part of this listing.
How does the hourly billing scale if I switch to a different instance size?
There is no commitment. You pay the hourly rate tied to whichever instance type you run. Switching to a different size or family changes your hourly rate to that instance's rate. You are billed per hour of actual runtime, so scaling up or down adjusts cost immediately.

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.
