Pre-configured Go 1.25 development environment on Amazon Linux 2023. Includes gopls language server, Delve debugger, and linting tools. Security hardened with automatic updates. Launch an instance and start building Go applications in minutes.
Go 1.25 on Amazon Linux 2023 provides a fully configured, production-ready development environment for building and running Go applications on AWS.
This AMI is built on a minimal installation of Amazon Linux 2023, updated to the latest security patches, and includes Go 1.25 with essential development tools pre-installed and configured. Go is a statically typed, compiled programming language designed at Google, known for its simplicity, concurrency support, and fast compilation. Version 1.25 is the latest stable release with enhanced generics, improved performance, and toolchain refinements.
Key components included:
Go 1.25 compiler and standard library
gopls (Go language server for IDE support)
Delve debugger for Go applications
golint code linter
Git version control
Essential build tools
Key capabilities:
Full cross-compilation support (Linux, macOS, Windows, ARM, AMD64)
Built-in testing framework with coverage analysis
Module-based dependency management
Race condition detector
Remote development ready (VS Code Remote-SSH compatible)
The system is security hardened following best practices. SSH access uses key pair authentication only. Unnecessary services and packages have been removed to reduce the attack surface. Automatic security updates are enabled by default.
This AMI is suitable for microservices development, API backends, CLI tool development, cloud-native applications, DevOps tooling, distributed systems, and any workload requiring high-performance compiled applications with built-in concurrency.
Highlights
Complete dev environment - Go 1.25 with gopls language server, Delve debugger, and linting tools pre-installed. Start coding immediately with full IDE support via Remote-SSH.
Security hardened - Built on Amazon Linux 2023 with automatic security updates, key-based SSH only, and minimal attack surface.
Production optimized - Fast compilation, built-in cross-compilation for multiple platforms, and minimal resource overhead for cost-effective cloud development.
AWS Marketplace now accepts line of credit payments through the PNC Vendor Finance program. This program is available to select AWS customers in the US, excluding NV, NC, ND, TN, & VT.
Pricing is based on actual usage, with charges varying according to how much you consume. Subscriptions have no end date and may be canceled any time. Alternatively, you can pay upfront for a contract, which typically covers your anticipated usage for the contract duration. Any usage beyond contract will incur additional usage-based costs.
Additional AWS infrastructure costs may apply. Use the AWS Pricing Calculator to estimate your infrastructure costs.
If you are an AWS Free Tier customer with a free plan, you are eligible to subscribe to this offer. You can use free credits to cover the cost of eligible AWS infrastructure. See AWS Free Tier for more details. If you created an AWS account before July 15th, 2025, and qualify for the Legacy AWS Free Tier, Amazon EC2 charges for Micro instances are free for up to 750 hours per month. See Legacy AWS Free Tier for more details.
You pay by the hour for the EC2 instance size you run. This listing bundles a Go 1.25 development environment on Amazon Linux 2023 with vendor support. Pricing is not tiered by feature. Instead, each rate maps to a specific instance type across the T3, T3a, M6i, M6id, M6in, M6idn, M7i, M7i-flex, C6i, C6id, C6in, C7i, C7i-flex, and HPC6id families. Rates scale with instance capacity, so larger sizes and metal options cost more per hour. You only pay for the hours you use, with no upfront commitment.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
What does one hourly unit cover for a given instance type?
Each hourly rate covers one running EC2 instance of that type. It bundles the Go 1.25 development environment on Amazon Linux 2023 plus vendor support. One unit equals one instance running for one hour. If you run several instances, each meters its own hourly charge separately.
Am I charged when my instance is stopped or paused?
The software charge meters running time only. A stopped or paused instance accrues no hourly software fee. Underlying AWS storage costs for attached volumes may still apply while the instance is stopped. Charges resume when you restart the instance.
How do I move to a different instance size, and does my rate change?
You choose the instance type when you launch. Switching to a different size means running a new instance under that size's hourly rate. Rates scale with instance capacity, so larger sizes and metal options cost more per hour. There is no upfront commitment tying you to one size.

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.
