Overview
FIPS (Federal Information Processing Standard) 140-2 is a cryptography standard that non-military U.S. federal agencies, as well as government contractors and service providers, must comply with in order to work with any federal government entities that collect, store, transfer, share and disseminate sensitive but unclassified (SBU) information. The FIPS 140-2 security standard is recognized by the U.S. and Canadian governments, as well as by the European Union.
This AMI is FIPS 140-2 compliant at the operating system level and applications can be run on this platform to meet compliance requirements as well as to harden the runtime environment.
Kurian has released preconfigured software applications such as CMS platforms, Jenkins, databases, LAMP stack, Ansible, popular tools in DevOps toolchain, and monitoring applications that are widely used by system administrators and DevOps engineers. For selected Linux distributions hardened images based on CIS benchmark are also available. The Kurian AMIs are built following official installation steps so you do not need to learn any custom procedures if additional configurations need to be done.
