Overview

0 Control Baseline profile (not a PCI DSS attestation), fully patched, with key-only SSH, a locked root account and firewalld allowing SSH only.

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

  • Remediated at build time with the OpenSCAP PCI-DSS v4.0 Control Baseline profile; not a PCI DSS attestation
  • Key-only SSH, locked root, unique SSH host keys on every first boot, firewalld allowing inbound SSH only, and no build residue or shared keys
  • One subscription for Oracle Linux 8, 9 and 10 in standard, Minimal, LVM and Arm64 LVM variants: pick the release and variant 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.
