This is a repackaged software product wherein additional charges apply for security hardening. This AWS-based EC2 comes pre-configured with the latest SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 16 image, optimized for security and featuring advanced hardening measures to help protect against vulnerabilities and ensure compliance with industry best practices. This configuration includes stringent access controls, audit logging, file integrity monitoring, and robust system settings to enhance overall system integrity and resilience. Implementing this hardened image helps organizations establish a baseline level of security and reduce risk exposure to common cyber threats. Organizations may need to further customize based on their specific security requirements and risk profile.
Key features: This hardened image maps 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 helps protect against unauthorized access, denial of service, and other cyber threats by limiting potential weaknesses that make systems vulnerable to cyberattacks.

Dimensions summary
You pay by the hour for this security-hardened SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 16 image. Each dimension maps to a specific AWS EC2 instance type, so your rate follows the instance size and family you run. Options span general-purpose (t2, t3, t3a, m3-m8a), compute-optimized (c3-c8a), memory-optimized (r3-r7a), storage-optimized (d2, d3, i2-i4i), and GPU/accelerated families (g2-g6, p2-p5). Larger instances within a family cost more per hour. You are billed only for hours used, with no upfront commitment. Volume licensing and private offers are available for enterprise buyers.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
Each hourly rate covers one running EC2 instance of the matching type with the SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 16 hardened image installed. The image ships with security configurations aligned to DISA STIG, PCI-DSS, HIPAA, and NIST frameworks at baseline and advanced hardening levels. AWS compute, storage, and data transfer are billed separately by AWS.
The software fee meters running hours only. A stopped or fully powered-off instance does not accrue the hourly software charge. You may still owe AWS for attached storage while the instance is stopped, but that is an AWS infrastructure charge, not the software license fee.
Your software rate follows whichever instance type you run at the time. Switching to a different type or size changes the per-hour rate to that dimension's rate automatically. There is no separate upgrade step. You pay the new rate for hours on the new instance and the old rate for prior hours.
