Overview
Host a Virtual Machine with a Selenium Dynamic Grid to Run Your Selenium Scripts Remotely in AWS
Launch a VM instance with this Amazon Machine Image (AMI) to set up your own Selenium Grid in the cloud in under five minutes. This self-configuring server image includes a Docker environment featuring a Selenium Dynamic Grid on Ubuntu. Connect to the Selenium Grid using its public IPv4 address on port 4444: http://<PublicIpAddressOfGridServer>:4444/wd/hub. Selenium is perfect for test automation, routine web task automation, web crawlers, and app monitoring.
How it works:
The Dynamic Grid enables you to run remote Selenium tests concurrently in isolated Docker environments. The maximum number of concurrent sessions depends on the number of vCPUs in your instance. For example, a virtual machine with 4 vCPUs can execute up to four scripts simultaneously. The Grid server automatically queues incoming requests to prevent overload.
Easy Usage (Example in Python):
capabilities = {'browserName': 'chrome'} driver = webdriver.Remote(command_executor = 'http://<PublicIpAddressOfGridServer>:4444/wd/hub', desired_capabilities = capabilities) driver.get("https://www.whatismybrowser.com") driver.save_screenshot('screenshot.png') driver.quit()``` This AMI is designed to be minimal, featuring only the Selenium Dynamic Grid Docker environment, ensuring a clean and lightweight virtual machine.

64-bit (x86) Amazon Machine Image (AMI)
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
This major release includes an upgrade from Ubuntu 20.04 to the latest Ubuntu 24.04, along with updates to the Docker and Selenium images to their most recent versions.

Manage Grid Server:
The Dynamic Grid starts automatically with every reboot of the EC2 instance. By default, it is accessible via the public IPv4 address of the instance on port 4444 (e.g. http://3.88.10.54:4444 ). Ensure that both the instance's security group and your local network allow traffic on this port. Since the Dynamic Grid is publicly accessible from the internet, consider restricting access to your specific IP address for enhanced security.
Run Selenium scripts remotely
This example demonstrates Python using Edge. Visit our documentation for additional language support, including Node.js and Java.
from selenium import webdriver
options = webdriver.EdgeOptions()
driver = webdriver.Remote(
command_executor='http://<public.ip.v4.address>:4444/wd/hub',
options=options.
)
driver.get("https://www.whatismybrowser.com ").
driver.save_screenshot('screenshot.png').
driver.quit()
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.
