Using security products from AWS Marketplace

In this recipe, we will learn to use various security products from AWS Marketplace. Many third-party companies will install and configure their products and solutions on EC2 instances and provide them as AMIs in AWS Marketplace. Marketplace AMIs can be considered EC2 instances with pre-configured software. Alternatively, we can also buy the products directly from these vendors and do the configurations on our own.

Getting ready...

We need a working AWS account, and a user as described in the Technical requirements section.

How to do it...

We can find and use security-related AMIs from AWS Marketplace as follows:

Go to the EC2 service on the dashboard.
Click on Instances from the left sidebar and click Launch instances.
Under Application and OS Images (Amazon Machine Image), click on Browse more AMIs.
