Overview
CIS Hardened Container Image Level 1 on Ubuntu Linux 22.04 LTS (ARM) is a pre-configured container image built by the Center for Internet Security (CIS®) to run on supported container runtimes and orchestration services, such as HAQM Elastic Container Service (HAQM ECS) or HAQM Elastic Kubernetes Service (HAQM EKS). It is a pre-configured, security-hardened image that aligns with the robust security recommendations, the CIS Benchmarks, making it easier for organizations to meet regulatory requirements.
Not only is this container image pre-hardened to the CIS Benchmarks guidance, but it is also patched monthly in alignment with the updates from the software vendor.
Key Benefits
This container image is hardened against the corresponding Level 1 profile which is intended to be practical and prudent, provide a clear security benefit, and not inhibit the utility of the technology beyond acceptable means. No packages are installed on or removed from this image outside of those already present on the base image or as recommended in alignment with the corresponding CIS Benchmark recommendations.
To demonstrate conformance to the CIS Ubuntu Linux 22.04 LTS Level 1 Benchmark, industry-recognized hardening guidance, each image includes an HTML report from CIS Configuration Assessment Tool (CIS-CAT® Pro). Each CIS Hardened Image contains the following files:

Container image
Containers are lightweight, portable execution environments that wrap server application software in a filesystem that includes everything it needs to run. Container applications run on supported container runtimes and orchestration services, such as HAQM Elastic Container Service (HAQM ECS) or HAQM Elastic Kubernetes Service (HAQM EKS). Both eliminate the need for you to install and operate your own container orchestration software by managing and scheduling containers on a scalable cluster of virtual machines.
