Standardize the starting point
Give product teams a controlled catalog instead of allowing each service to assemble a different operating-system baseline.

AWS Hardened Images for Enterprise Technology
Repeatable hardened Linux and Windows images for SaaS platforms, internal systems, and technology services delivered into regulated customer environments.
OPERATING CONTEXT
Make the image decision visible before the workload grows around it.
Enterprise platform teams need image choices that can move across product lines without turning every workload into a new baseline project. North keeps the image, support path, and marketplace record explicit so teams can standardize without hiding operational tradeoffs.
Support mixed estates
Compare Linux and Windows, current major versions, x86_64 and ARM64, and product-specific support in one catalog.
Carry ownership forward
Use the image as a governed component while application, tenant, data, observability, and response controls remain with your team.
WHY THIS STARTING POINT
What a controlled image decision improves.
- Reduce baseline variance across product teams
- Give customer-facing services traceable image decisions
- Keep support connected to the published product
