The Linux on AWS offering is quite robust. Many of the major distributions can be easily deployed as AMIs (Amazon Machine Images). There are many combinations of operating systems and configurations to choose from. Here we’ll help you sort through the basics.
Before we dive into the different operating systems, it’s useful to understand the concept of a “hardened” image. For many of the operating systems we’ll mention below, you’ll find hardened images available. What this means is the images have been configured to meet a certain set of criteria.
For example, the RogueWave enhanced support for CentOS – CentOS 7 Security Hardened image is a CentOS 7 image configured by Rouge Wave Software to meet Center for Internet Security (CIS) and OpenSCAP standards.
These “out-of-box” hardened images are useful if you’re looking to streamline your workload. However, if you’re looking for something to practice with and configure from scratch, you may want a more bare-bones minimal install.
