: This is a repackaged software product wherein additional charges apply for hardening. This AWS-based ec2 comes pre-configured with the latest ALMA Linux 9 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 ALMA Linux 9 image with Level 1: Foundational security. The pricing is not tiered. Instead, each dimension maps to a specific EC2 instance type you choose to run the image on. Rates differ by instance family and size, covering general purpose, compute, memory, storage, and GPU-accelerated options. Larger instances with more CPU, memory, or specialized hardware carry higher hourly rates. Your total cost depends on which instance you select and how many hours you run it. Software charges apply on top of standard AWS infrastructure fees.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
What does one hour of billing cover for this hardened ALMA Linux 9 image?
One hour covers the software license for the running image on the EC2 instance type you select. The clock runs while that instance is active. Each dimension maps to one instance type, so your rate reflects the CPU, memory, and hardware of the size you launch.
Am I charged the software fee when my instance is stopped or powered off?
Software charges accrue only while the instance runs. A fully stopped or powered-off instance stops the hourly software meter. Underlying AWS resources like storage may still incur standard AWS fees, but those are separate from this listing's per-hour software charge.
Does my hourly rate change if I switch to a different EC2 instance type?
Yes. Each instance type is a separate pricing dimension with its own hourly rate. Moving from a smaller general-purpose size to a larger compute, memory, storage, or GPU-accelerated instance changes your rate. You are billed at the rate of whichever instance is running the image.

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.
