Deploy RLC Pro on AWS Marketplace

I wrote this guide for CIQ covering how to get RLC Pro running on AWS, from the Marketplace listing to a live EC2 instance with LTS and FIPS available.

The post makes the case that most teams standing up Enterprise Linux on AWS spend too much time configuring things that should have shipped with the image. RLC Pro skips that. The AMI comes pre-configured with CIQ repository access, and enabling LTS pinning or FIPS 140-3 validated packages is a single step after launch.

I covered the full picture: what Long-Term Support actually means for compliance and QA cycles, why FIPS 140-3 matters for FedRAMP and CMMC-scoped workloads, and how Enterprise Linux binary compatibility means your existing Ansible playbooks and automation carry over without changes.
