Failure to a known state can address safety or security in accordance with the mission/business needs of the organization. Failure to a known secure state helps prevent a loss of confidentiality, integrity, or availability in the event of a failure of the information system or a component of the system.

Preserving operating system state information helps to facilitate operating system restart and return to the operational mode of the organization with least disruption to mission/business processes.

Solution

Configure Amazon Linux 2023 to enable the systemd-journald service with the following command:

$ sudo systemctl enable --now systemd-journald
