Dimensions summary
You pay by the hour for the EC2 instance type you choose to run this preconfigured Selenium Webdriver image on headless Ubuntu. Pricing is usage-based, so you are billed only for the hours each instance runs. Every option maps to a specific EC2 instance type, and the hourly software rate scales with the size and class of that instance. Smaller shared instances carry lower hourly rates, while larger compute, memory, storage, and accelerated instances carry higher rates. You pick the instance size that fits your automation workload, with a recommended type pre-selected at launch.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
You pay for the software image preinstalled with Selenium Webdriver on headless Ubuntu, running on one EC2 instance of your chosen type. The rate is per instance-hour. Each instance runs separately, so launching several instances multiplies the hourly charge by the number of running instances.
Software charges accrue only while the instance runs. Stopping the instance halts the hourly software fee. Closing your SSH session does not stop the instance, so charges continue; scripts can keep running in the background using a tmux session. Stopped instances may still incur underlying AWS storage costs.
Cost does not scale automatically. You select an instance type at launch, and the hourly rate is fixed to that choice. To get more capacity, you launch a larger instance type or run additional instances. Each change is manual, and your bill reflects the instance types and hours you actually run.

Amazon Machine Image (AMI)
An AMI is a virtual image that provides the information required to launch an instance. Amazon EC2 (Elastic Compute Cloud) instances are virtual servers on which you can run your applications and workloads, offering varying combinations of CPU, memory, storage, and networking resources. You can launch as many instances from as many different AMIs as you need.
Version release notes
Fixed a critical out-of-bounds write vulnerability (CVE-2026-32746) in the telnetd LINEMODE SLC suboption handler by adding buffer size validation.

Preconfigured sample code with Selenium is available in Python, Java, and NodeJS. These code snippets demonstrate common browser operations, such as initializing the web driver, navigating to URLs, clicking elements, sending keys, scrolling, and taking screenshots.
Connect to the instance with SSH to run the sample code:
- Python: Access the Python directory with cd /home/ubuntu/Selenium/Python. Run one of the prebuilt scripts, such as sample-chrome.py, sample-firefox.py, or sample-edge.py, using the command: python sample-chrome.py
- NodeJS: Access the NodeJS directory with cd /home/ubuntu/Selenium/NodeJS. Run one of the prebuilt scripts, such as sample-chrome.js, sample-firefox.js, or sample-edge.js, using the command: node sample-chrome.js
- Java: Maven is preinstalled to build the project. Navigate to the Java directory with cd /home/ubuntu/Selenium/Java. Run one of the executable files, such as SampleChrome, SampleFirefox, or SampleEdge, using the command: mvn exec:java -Dexec.mainClass="com.example.SampleChrome"
We keep software installations to a minimum, and no sensitive data is stored on the virtual machine instance. If you encounter any issues or have additional questions, please refer to our documentation or reach out to our support team.

Message: Service chromedriver unexpectedly exited. Status code was: 1
This AMI was supposed to have all included, wasn't it? Seems like it's better to spend some time doing everything yourself.

First of all, the Selenium instances created by Michael were expertly deployed and setup in a clean and efficient manner. We were able to get started right away, and we ran bot headless versions and GUI version in no time. The documentation is very clear, even for a novice. Anyone looking to run SELENIUM would benefit greatly from using these instances.
Now when we had requirements to go beyond EC2 instances, getting SELENIUM scripts running on LAMBDA, we reached out to Michael and he got back to us within 1 day and took on the mandate. If I could rate 11/10 I would. He translated our Java code to Python and expertly setup all elements of the process, having excellent knowledge of Amazon API services, AWS, EC2, and Lambda, as well as guiding is with our HTTP call parameters from Salesforce.
like I said ... 11/10 ... needless to say: highly recommended.

Needed to test out a quick script and found this AMI. It has -almost- everything you need to run a headless selenium system. Curiously, it is missing Selenium. A quick install and everything I tested works.
