AWS-based virtual desktop with the latest Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9 image pre-configured with GUI/RDP access and hardened and optimized for security and compliance.
This is a repackaged software product wherein additional charges apply for hardening. This AWS-based virtual desktop comes pre-configured with the latest Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9 GUI 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 Desktop image. Pricing is set per Amazon EC2 instance type, so your hourly rate depends on the instance you select. The dimensions cover many instance families — general purpose (t2, t3, m-series), compute-optimized (c-series), memory-optimized (r-series), storage-optimized (d-series, i-series, h1), and GPU-accelerated (p2, p3, g5, g6). Larger instance sizes carry higher hourly rates than smaller ones in the same family. You choose the instance that fits your workload, and billing scales with your usage hours.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
Am I charged the hourly software rate when my instance is stopped or powered off?
The hourly software rate meters running instance-hours. A fully stopped instance stops accruing the software charge. You may still pay underlying AWS fees, such as storage for the attached volume, but the hardened image charge applies only while the instance runs.
What does the hourly charge cover, and what is the hardening in this image?
Each hour covers the security-hardened Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9 Desktop image running on your chosen instance. The image ships pre-configured to compliance frameworks including DISA STIG, PCI-DSS, HIPAA, and NIST controls, and receives regular security patches. You add this software rate on top of the underlying AWS compute cost.
How do I lower my hourly cost if my workload does not need heavy resources?
Your rate follows the instance type you select. Smaller instances in families like t2 or t3 carry lower hourly rates than larger sizes in the same family. Choose an instance matched to your CPU, memory, storage, or GPU needs, and switch instances if requirements change.

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.
