This product is a repackaged open-source software offering, with additional charges applied for operating system patching and the maintenance services provided by Kurian.
Included in this package is Postfix, a free and open-source mail transfer agent (MTA) responsible for routing and delivering electronic mail. Postfix, operating as an SMTP server, adds an essential layer of protection against spam bots and malware, effectively replacing the traditional use of sendmail. In public cloud environments, it’s common to require an MTA for applications to send emails via the corporate email infrastructure, a function easily achieved with a configured Postfix server. This AMI is equipped with the most up-to-date, stable version of the Postfix Mail Server, expertly installed on the designated operating system, complete with the latest patches.
Kurian has also introduced a collection of software applications, including popular tools like WordPress, Jenkins, various databases, the LAMP stack, Ansible, DevOps utilities, and monitoring applications. These software solutions are widely favored by system administrators and DevOps engineers. Additionally, Kurian offers specialized, CIS benchmark-based, hardened images tailored for select Linux distributions. Notably, the Kurian AMIs adhere to official installation procedures, sparing users from the need to learn custom configurations should additional adjustments become necessary.
