Fedora Linux on AWS is a secure, fast, and developer friendly base image tailored for EC2. It pairs Fedoras cutting edge userland with cloud native defaults so teams can go from launch to deploy with less setup and fewer surprises.
Who is it for?
Developers and Platform Engineers building microservices, containers, and APIs.
DevOps and SRE teams needing a consistent, automated base for CI/CD runners and ephemeral workloads.
Security minded orgs that want SELinux enforcing and a minimal, auditable baseline.
Standing up a production ready Linux baseline takes time kernel tuning, cloud init, networking, logs, security settings, and package sources. This AMI removes that toil with an opinionated, AWS ready Fedora you can standardize on across environments.
Why choose this Fedora image?
Cloud optimized from first boot: cloud init preconfigured for user data, SSH key injection, and idempotent provisioning.
Security first posture: SELinux enforcing by default, locked down SSH, and predictable update flows via DNF.
Performance and reliability: NVMe, ENA, and VirtIO drivers, tuned sysctls, and log rotation configured for EC2.
Automation friendly: Works seamlessly with Ansible, Terraform, Packer, CodeBuild/CodePipeline, and GitHub Actions.
Architecture choice: Publish for x86_64 and ARM64 (Graviton) to match cost/perf goals.
What is included?
Fedora Linux (current supported release)
cloud init and AWS agent integrations

If you are an AWS Free Tier customer with a free plan, you are eligible to subscribe to this offer. You can use free credits to cover the cost of eligible AWS infrastructure. See AWS Free Tier for more details. If you created an AWS account before July 15th, 2025, and qualify for the Legacy AWS Free Tier, Amazon EC2 charges for Micro instances are free for up to 750 hours per month. See Legacy AWS Free Tier for more details.
You pay by the hour for the EC2 instance size you run Fedora Linux 42 on. There is no upfront commitment; billing follows your actual usage. Each dimension maps to a specific EC2 instance type, so pricing scales with the compute resources you select. Options range from small burstable t2 and t3 instances to large compute-optimized c4 and c5 types, memory-optimized r5 types, general-purpose m4 and m5 types, graphics gr6 types, and bare-metal variants. Larger instances cost more per hour because they provide more CPU and memory. You choose the size that fits your workload.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
What does one hourly unit cover, and what am I paying the vendor for?
Each unit is one running EC2 instance of the type shown, billed per hour. The charge covers the Fedora Linux 42 image with vendor support. AWS compute and storage costs are separate. Each dimension maps to one specific instance type, so you pick the size matching your workload.
Am I charged when an instance is stopped or paused?
The hourly software charge applies only while the instance runs. Stopped instances do not accrue the software fee. Underlying AWS storage charges for attached volumes may still apply while the instance is stopped. The software meter tracks running hours only.
Do I commit upfront, or does cost follow my actual usage?
There is no upfront commitment. Billing is pay-as-you-go, metering actual instance-hours. Cost accrues only while an instance runs. This suits variable or intermittent workloads, since you stop paying the software fee when you stop the instance. You can switch instance types by launching a different size.

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.
