Problem
When creating a new CIS Hardened Image in AWS or switching Instance Types for an existing HI VM, the following message is displayed:
“Failed to create / modify instance type - The instance configuration for this AWS Marketplace product is not supported“
Solution
AWS frequently adds new Instance Types to their available lineup, which may include processor architecture and other hardware changes that require review and approval by the developers offering products on AWS Marketplace. These new instances are opt-in and have to be verified & marked as compatible by the vendor.
Between December 6, 2023 and April 2024, we will not implement requests to add new instance types on AWS. After that ~90 day window, we will modify the requested image to add the new instance types as long as that instance type family is available for that image.
A list of currently compatible Instance Types can be viewed by navigating to the CIS Hardened Image page on AWS Marketplace and selecting the “Pricing” tab. The supported EC2 Instance Types are displayed in the pricing list along with their cost.
Shown below is an example of the “CIS Amazon Linux 2 Kernel 4.14 Benchmark - Level 1“ offering.
