    This is a repackaged open source software product wherein additional charges apply for seller hardening and maintenance. Oracle Linux 9.8 AMI ready to run on EC2 with SELinux enforcing, hardened SSH, fail2ban, CloudWatch Agent, AIDE, chrony, SSM Agent and AWS CLI v2.

    Overview

    This is a repackaged open source software product wherein additional charges apply for seller hardening, preconfiguration, and maintenance.

    This Oracle Linux 9.8 AMI is built for teams that want a clean Oracle Linux start on EC2, without spending the first hours on basic security and AWS tooling. The seller applied a practical security and operations baseline so instances start ready for production-style use.

    What is included:

    • SELinux configured in enforcing mode to strengthen mandatory access control
    • Hardened SSH baseline with key-based authentication only, root login disabled, and restricted session settings
    • fail2ban pre-configured to protect SSH against brute-force authentication attempts
    • Amazon CloudWatch Agent pre-installed and pre-configured for system metrics and log collection
    • AIDE pre-initialized to help detect unexpected changes on critical system files
    • chrony configured for reliable time synchronization
    • AWS Systems Manager (SSM) Agent pre-installed for centralized instance management
    • AWS CLI v2 pre-installed for everyday AWS command-line operations
    • Cloud-optimized sysctl tuning for typical EC2 network and memory behavior
    • Built-in os-status utility for a quick view of services, resources, and security posture

    Use this AMI as a solid starting point for application servers, admin hosts, and general Oracle Linux 9.8 workloads on Amazon EC2.

    Highlights

    • Security-hardened baseline: SELinux enforcing, SSH key-only access, root login disabled, fail2ban protection
    • AWS integration ready: SSM Agent and AWS CLI v2 pre-installed. Cloud-optimized sysctl tuning and os-status utility for quick system health checks
    • Oracle support for this product will end on Jun 2032

    AI Insights

     Info

    Dimensions summary

    You pay by the hour for a hardened Oracle Linux 9.8 image running on AWS EC2. Each pricing dimension maps to one EC2 instance type, so your cost tracks the size and family of instance you launch. Smaller shared instances bill at lower hourly rates, while large, memory-optimized, compute-optimized, GPU, and bare-metal instances bill at higher rates. You are charged only for the hours each instance runs, with no upfront commitment. Choose the instance type that matches your workload, and the software fee scales with that choice alongside standard AWS infrastructure charges.

    Top-of-mind questions for buyers

    Each dimension maps to a single AWS EC2 instance type, such as t3.micro or m5.large. You pick the instance type that fits your workload, and the software fee attaches to every hour that instance runs. Larger families and sizes carry higher hourly software rates.
    The hourly software fee meters running time only. A stopped instance accrues no software charge. You may still pay standard AWS charges for attached storage while the instance is stopped, but the hardened image fee applies solely to hours the instance actually runs.
    Two charges apply at the same time. The hourly software fee for the hardened Oracle Linux 9.8 image tied to your chosen instance type, plus standard AWS infrastructure charges for that instance. Both scale with the instance size you launch and the hours you run it.

    Usage Instructions: Once the instance is running, connect to it using a Secure Shell (SSH) client with the configured SSH key. The default username is 'cloud-user'

    Info regarding virtual machines The operating system does not save any sensitive information for the customers. The customer is responsible for saving any information, sensitive or not. The data saved on the volumes is not encrypted by default. All instance authentication must use key pair access, not password-based authentication. AMIs does not contain passwords, authentication keys, key pairs, security keys, or other credentials. PasswordAuthentication is set to NO in sshd_config. The application does not make use of any encryption techniques.

    Troubleshooting Navigate to your Amazon EC2 console and verify that you're in the correct region. Choose Instance and select your launched instance. Select the server to display your metadata page and choose the Status checks tab at the bottom of the page to review if your status checks passed or failed. Or Select monitor an troubleshoot and select get system log to see the system log or select get instance screenshot to see state of your screen at the current time
