This is a repackaged open source software product wherein additional charges apply for image hardening, maintenance, and support. Traefik reverse proxy on Amazon Linux 2023, security-hardened for production: minimal package set, SSH key-only access, IMDSv2-only, dashboard and API disabled, runs as a non-root user, and continuously patched images.
Traefik (Hardened) on Amazon Linux 2023 is a production-ready, security-hardened image of the Traefik reverse proxy and load balancer, maintained and supported by Derek Coleman & Associates Inc.
This is repackaged open-source software. Traefik is developed by Traefik Labs and the Traefik community and is distributed under the MIT License. Traefik is a trademark of Traefik Labs; this listing is not endorsed by or affiliated with Traefik Labs. This product bundles the unmodified upstream Traefik release binary on a hardened Amazon Linux 2023 base; the charges associated with this listing are for image hardening, continuous patching, vulnerability scanning, and business-day support - not for the underlying open-source software, which remains free.
Hardening baseline: minimal package footprint, SSH key-only access (password authentication disabled), IMDSv2 enforced, Traefik running as a dedicated non-root user with only the bind capability, the dashboard and API disabled by default, host firewall exposing only web ports, and no default credentials anywhere. Images are rebuilt, scanned for HIGH and CRITICAL vulnerabilities, and republished on a regular cadence so that new launches start current. Define routers and services as YAML files under /etc/traefik/dynamic (watched live) and manage the service with systemd.
Highlights
Production-ready: systemd-managed Traefik 3.7; drop dynamic config YAML into /etc/traefik/dynamic - changes apply live.
Security-hardened at build time: minimal packages, key-only SSH, IMDSv2-only, non-root service user, dashboard/API off by default.
Continuously patched: rebuilt, vulnerability-scanned, and republished on a regular cadence.
AWS Marketplace now accepts line of credit payments through the PNC Vendor Finance program. This program is available to select AWS customers in the US, excluding NV, NC, ND, TN, & VT.
You pay hourly for a hardened Traefik image, priced by the EC2 instance size you launch. The three dimensions map to compute capacity: c7i.xlarge (4 vCPU / 8 GiB), c7i.2xlarge (8 vCPU / 16 GiB), and c7i.4xlarge (16 vCPU / 32 GiB). Larger instances carry a higher hourly rate. You pick the size that fits your workload. There is no subscription and no minimum. Charges stop when you terminate the instance. AWS infrastructure charges are billed separately by AWS.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
What do the vCPU and memory specs mean for each instance size I might pick?
Each dimension maps to a fixed compute size. The c7i.xlarge gives 4 vCPU and 8 GiB memory. The c7i.2xlarge gives 8 vCPU and 16 GiB. The c7i.4xlarge gives 16 vCPU and 32 GiB. You pick the size that matches your traffic and load needs.
Am I charged when the instance is stopped or terminated?
Software charges accrue only while the instance runs. Charges stop when you terminate the instance. There is no subscription and no minimum. Note that AWS may still bill for the attached storage volume while an instance is stopped, since that is billed separately by AWS.
What exactly am I paying for, since Traefik is open-source software?
The hourly charge covers image hardening, continuous patching, vulnerability scanning, and business-day support. The underlying open-source software stays free under its own license. You pay for the maintained, security-hardened image and the support around it, not for the reverse proxy software itself.

An AMI is a virtual image that provides the information required to launch an instance. Amazon EC2 (Elastic Compute Cloud) instances are virtual servers on which you can run your applications and workloads, offering varying combinations of CPU, memory, storage, and networking resources. You can launch as many instances from as many different AMIs as you need.
Version release notes
[Security] Refreshed image: rebuilt on the latest hardened Amazon Linux 2023 baseline; all OS packages current at build.
Additional details
Usage instructions
Launch from AWS Marketplace (1-Click or EC2 console).
Connect via SSH with your EC2 key pair: ssh -i <key> ec2-user@<public-ip>. Root login is disabled; use sudo.
Static config lives at /etc/traefik/traefik.yml (entrypoints :80/:443); add routers and services as YAML files under /etc/traefik/dynamic - the directory is watched, so changes apply without restart. The dashboard and API are disabled by design.
Verify: sudo systemctl status traefik.
Sensitive data: there are no passwords or secrets anywhere in this product. Logs under /var/log may contain client IPs - treat as personal data.
Backup: snapshot the EBS volume (it contains all configuration and data).
Resources: a single instance uses 1 EC2 instance and 1 gp3 EBS volume; no other AWS resources are created.
