This is a repackaged open source software product wherein charges are associated for hardening.
Armorbytes Ubuntu 22.04 LTS image is pre-configured to align with the Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA) Security Technical Implementation Guide (STIG) requirements. Armorbyte is not affiliated with or endorsed by DISA; references are for standard alignment only. The image applies STIG-mapped configurations, secure boot, minimized services, audit logging, and automated patching to satisfy stringent DoD security controls.
The baseline maps to the NIST CSF, ISO 27001, PCI DSS, HIPAA, and other frameworks, giving teams a proven starting point toward compliance without the usual DIY effort.
Key features: . Aligned with DISA STIG guidance for Ubuntu. . Secure boot, minimized services, and auditd logging enabled. . Continuous patching via unattended-upgrades. . SSH hardened: key-only auth & modern ciphers. . Cloud-init scripts let you extend or roll back STIG controls.
Why choose Armorbyte ? Armorbyte images are continuously rebuilt, vulnerability-scanned, and cryptographically signed. Every build is regression-tested so it just works the first time you launch.
Highlights
- 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.
- Armorbytes baseline reduces mean-time-to-secure by providing opinionated defaults, audit-ready logs, and automated patching.

Dimensions summary
You pay by the hour for a hardened Ubuntu 22.04 server pre-configured to the DISA STIG Advanced benchmark. Pricing scales with the EC2 instance type you choose, not by feature tiers. The 26 options map to standard AWS instance families: burstable t2 and t3 sizes for light or variable workloads, compute-focused c5a, general-purpose m5a, memory-focused r5a, and GPU-backed g3 and p3 for graphics or accelerated tasks. Larger instances within each family carry higher hourly rates. Software charges apply on top of standard AWS infrastructure costs and stop when you stop the instance.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
One unit is one running EC2 instance of the type you pick, billed per hour. The software charge covers the hardened Ubuntu 22.04 image configured to the DISA STIG Advanced benchmark on that instance. Each instance you launch meters its own hours separately.
Software charges apply only while the instance runs. Stopping the instance stops the hourly software meter. Underlying AWS costs, such as storage for a stopped instance, may still apply separately. Restarting the instance resumes the software charge.
The instance type you select drives cost. All options run the same hardened image, so the software layer is consistent. Rates rise with instance size and family. Burstable t2 and t3 sizes sit lower; GPU-backed g3 and p3 and larger compute or memory sizes sit higher.
