Why the cloudimg image

This image arrives installed, configured and hardened, so there is no manual setup before you can use it. It is built on a patched base, runs with credentials generated uniquely for your instance on first boot, and passes an automated health check before every release. Every deployment is backed by 24/7 support from cloudimg engineers.

Key features

  • Security-hardened from first boot: unique administrator, ingest and shared-key credentials stored root-only, HTTPS on web consoles with a per-instance TLS certificate, and syslog and forward ports closed in the security group until you open them
  • Fully patched with the latest security updates at build time, so you launch on a current baseline; cloudimg provides 24/7 support by email and live chat with a 24-hour response SLA
  • Log management products in one listing: OpenSearch with Fluent Bit, Grafana Loki, OpenObserve, VictoriaLogs, Parseable, Fluentd, Vector, rsyslog and more: pick one as the software version at launch

Description

This is a repackaged open source software product wherein additional charges apply for security hardening, secure-by-default configuration and per-instance setup.

Deploy hardened log management infrastructure in minutes, not days

This listing gives you a curated collection of open-source log management and observability tools, each packaged as a standalone AMI with security hardening, secure-by-default configuration and unique per-instance credentials generated on first boot already done for you, with HTTPS for each web console. Select the product and version you need from the Software version dropdown at launch, and your instance is ready to receive logs within minutes.

What cloudimg adds to every version

  • Fully patched base: every image is built on a base with the latest security updates applied at build time, so you start from a known-good foundation.
  • Unique credentials on first boot: administrator, ingest, and shared-key credentials are generated uniquely when each instance starts for the first time. No default logins exist and no two instances share a secret.
  • HTTPS for web consoles and APIs: where a product has a web console or HTTP ingest API, it is served over HTTPS with a per-instance certificate. Log shippers such as Fluent Bit, Fluentd, and rsyslog have no web console.
  • Locked-down network posture: log ingest ports such as syslog and Fluent forward stay closed in the security group until you explicitly open them to your own networks. Internal services are bound to localhost.

These defaults mean you spend less time on post-launch hardening checklists and more time shipping logs to where they need to go.

2. Launch the AMI on your preferred EC2 instance type.
