Pre-Hardened VM Images for AWS, Azure, and GCP
This is a repackaged software product from Madarson IT, with additional charges applied for advanced security hardening aligned to NIST 800-171.
This AWS-based EC2 instance comes pre-configured with the latest Red Hat Enterprise Linux 10 image, specifically hardened to help organizations meet the requirements outlined in NIST Special Publication 800-171: Protecting Controlled Unclassified Information in Nonfederal Systems and Organizations.
NIST 800-171 is a U.S. federal standard that defines security controls for protecting Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) in systems outside the federal government. It applies to defense contractors, research institutions, grant recipients, and any non-federal entities that store, process, or transmit CUI as part of contracts with the U.S. government.
This hardened image helps accelerate compliance by implementing strong baseline configurations, reducing attack surfaces, and enforcing access control, audit readiness, and secure transmission practices -- all core to NIST 800-171s 14 control families.
Key Features: Access Control Enforcement: Enforces least privilege, session timeout, and account management best practices. Audit and Accountability: Supports logging and monitoring to help meet auditability requirements for CUI-related activities. System and Communications Protection: Applies secure configurations for data in transit and at rest. Incident Response Readiness: Supports rapid detection and recovery through hardened logging and alerting controls.
Why Choose Madarson IT RHEL Images? Madarson IT certified images are continuously updated, security-optimized, and tested to align with multiple compliance frameworks including NIST, DISA STIG, and NIST 800-171. They are designed for rapid deployment in high-security cloud environments with minimal customization required.

Highlights
- NIST 800-171 Alignment: Implements technical safeguards aligned with NISTs 14 control families, including access control, system integrity, and configuration management.
- Supply Chain & DoD Contract Readiness: Essential for organizations pursuing or maintaining DoD contracts where handling CUI is required, supporting DFARS and CMMC readiness.
- Secure-by-Design Image: Delivers a hardened operating environment out of the box, reducing the effort needed to secure non-federal systems in regulated environments.

Dimensions summary
You pay by the hour for the security-hardened Red Hat Enterprise Linux 10 image, billed based on the EC2 instance size you choose. Each dimension maps to a specific instance type, so your rate scales with the compute, memory, storage, or GPU capacity of that instance. General-purpose (t2, t3, m3, m4, m5), compute-optimized (c3, c5, c5a), memory-optimized (r3, r5), storage-optimized (i2, i3, d2, d3), and GPU (g2, g3, g5, p2, p3) families are all available. Larger instances within a family carry higher hourly rates. There is no upfront commitment; you pay only for hours the instance runs.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
One unit is one running EC2 instance measured per hour. Each instance you launch meters its own hours separately. Your rate depends on the instance type you choose, so a larger instance carries a higher hourly software charge than a smaller one in the same family.
The software charge meters running hours only. A fully stopped instance does not accrue the hourly software fee. Note that AWS may still bill underlying storage costs, such as attached volumes, while the instance is stopped. Those are separate AWS charges, not the software rate.
Each image ships pre-configured with NIST 800-171 aligned security controls. The vendor validates and updates images regularly with security patches, so it is not a one-time snapshot. The hardening is the same across all instance types; only the hourly rate changes with instance size.

Amazon Machine Image (AMI)
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.
