Every Hardened Images listing names the Linux release, architecture, product line, and marketplace destination so teams can evaluate a specific artifact.
Review the hardening modelStart from a security-configured Linux image instead of repeating the same operating-system work for every workload.
Filter by operating system, release, architecture, and product line before continuing to the exact AWS listing.
Hardened Images owns the published image; your team owns the application, cloud architecture, operations, evidence, and final decisions.
Filter the list, subscribe to the exact build, then test it in context.
Match the Linux family, major release, product line, and architecture to your workload.
Confirm current AWS terms, regions, and listing details before deployment.
Exercise application behavior, access, agents, networking, and observability outside production.
Move the tested image through your own release, monitoring, patching, and evidence process.
Hardened Images provides maintained Linux virtual machines with security controls already applied, plus Docker-ready variants for selected operating systems. Products are distributed through AWS Marketplace.
Hardened Images supports teams implementing the framework programs listed on this site, but a hardened image does not make an entire system compliant, certified, accredited, or authorized. Confirm product-specific alignment and retain responsibility for the surrounding architecture, applications, evidence, and operating procedures.
Yes. Secure defaults can restrict services, protocols, permissions, authentication methods, or network behavior that an application expects. Validate every image and dependency in a non-production environment before promotion.
The current catalog includes x86_64 and ARM64 builds. Availability differs by operating-system version and product line, so use the catalog filters to find an exact match.
