This product has charges associated with it for technical support with a 24-hour response time. This AMI provides Rocky Linux 9.8 on a minimal installation with the latest updates, repackaged by Easycloud with continuous support.
Overview
This is a repackaged open source software product wherein additional charges apply for technical support with a 24-hour response time. Rocky Linux 9.8, delivered as a minimal x86_64 installation, is included in this AMI, repackaged by Easycloud. It provides a stable, community-driven enterprise Linux platform that is fully binary-compatible with RHEL 9, deliberately engineered to deliver predictable long-term production stability across a maintenance lifecycle running to 2032.
Core Features & Integrations
-
Rocky Linux 9 Foundation: Provides a robust, enterprise-grade underlying OS with deep structural alignment to RHEL, ensuring high security and seamless ecosystem compatibility with AlmaLinux, CentOS Stream, and traditional CentOS deployments.
-
Rocky Linux 9.8 (x86_64 Minimal): A community-driven enterprise Linux distribution founded as the spiritual successor to CentOS, rebuilt bug-for-bug compatible from RHEL 9 sources and governed by the Rocky Enterprise Software Foundation. Release 9.8 carries the current kernel, glibc, and OpenSSL updates from the RHEL 9 stream, while the minimal installation ships only the components required to boot and operate the system, keeping the image lean and the attack surface small.
Key Benefits
-
Bug-for-Bug RHEL Compatibility: Rocky Linux 9.8 is rebuilt directly from RHEL 9 sources, giving you full binary compatibility with the Red Hat 9 ecosystem, predictable point releases, and a maintenance lifecycle running to 2032. Applications, drivers, and commercial agents certified against RHEL 9 run unmodified, making this a dependable long-term foundation for production workloads that demand enterprise Linux stability.
-
Ideal Foundation for Modern Cloud Infrastructure: By starting with a bloat-free Rocky Linux 9 minimal installation, maximum CPU and memory are dedicated entirely to your own workloads rather than to unused background services. This makes it the perfect, conflict-free foundation for web and application hosting including Nginx, Apache HTTPD, HAProxy, Apache Tomcat, and WordPress, as well as data layers built on MySQL, MariaDB, PostgreSQL, Redis, and Elasticsearch. It seamlessly integrates with modern runtimes and container platforms (Python, Node.js, OpenJDK, Docker, Kubernetes), and serves as a rock-solid backbone for DevOps, messaging, and observability stacks (Jenkins, HashiCorp Vault, RabbitMQ, MinIO, Keycloak, Grafana, Prometheus), ensuring your enterprise Linux infrastructure scales without limits.
-
Production Ready & Expert Support: Secured with the latest OS patches. It delivers a highly stable environment, fully supported by comprehensive documentation and fast technical assistance (guaranteed 24-hour response time) to ensure your infrastructure runs smoothly without costly downtime.
Highlights
- Rocky Linux 9.8 (Minimal Installation),updated to the latest version.
- Professional installation following best practices.
- Expert Support: Backed by comprehensive documentation and fast, professional technical assistance.

Dimensions summary
You pay by the hour for Rocky Linux 9 Minimal running on the AWS EC2 instance type you choose. Each dimension maps to one specific instance type, so pricing scales with the compute size and family you pick. Smaller instances like nano and micro types carry lower hourly rates, while larger sizes such as 24xlarge, 48xlarge, and bare-metal instances carry higher rates. Instance families cover general purpose, compute, memory, storage, GPU, and high-performance computing needs. Your total combines this software rate with standard AWS infrastructure charges. Support from the vendor is included with each instance.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
Each dimension maps to one running EC2 instance of that specific type. You pay the software rate for every hour that instance runs. The rate covers the Rocky Linux 9 Minimal image plus vendor support. AWS charges its own infrastructure fees for compute, storage, and data transfer separately.
The software rate meters running instance-hours only. A stopped instance does not accrue this hourly software charge. Underlying AWS storage fees for attached volumes may still apply while the instance is stopped. Charges resume once you start the instance again.
The vendor includes support with each running instance. The vendor also offers services such as security hardening to standards like CIS Benchmarks, performance tuning, and help meeting compliance mandates like PCI-DSS, SOX, and HIPAA. Contact the vendor to confirm which support scope is covered under this listing.
