Overview
Run a full Koha ILS on AWS with a polished public catalogue and direct control over your cloud environment.
Koha Theme Builder™ helps you improve the public catalogue without maintaining custom Koha template changes. Standard includes 5 professionally designed theme families, 8 activated presets, and 5 preview-only presets.
Use Page Builder to update homepage content, Page Settings to manage page-level options, and Design Studio to adjust colours, typography, and spacing. These tools are available from the Koha staff interface, so library staff can make common visual changes without server access.
A complete Koha ILS Koha includes cataloguing, circulation, holds, acquisitions, serials, interlibrary loans, Z39.50, SIP2, reports, a web-based staff interface, and a public catalogue. Koha Cloud Standard is preconfigured for AWS and designed for libraries that want a practical production deployment.
Deploy on AWS Launch Koha using the preconfigured AMI and KohaSupport setup guidance. The environment runs in your AWS account, giving you visibility into AWS infrastructure costs and control over server sizing.
Cost and ownership There are no per-patron, per-title, or seat-based KohaSupport fees. You choose the AWS server size and control infrastructure costs directly. AWS infrastructure charges still apply.
Trial and services A 30-day free trial is available for software charges. AWS infrastructure charges still apply during the trial. Paid support, onboarding, data migration, training, advanced configuration, customisation, and managed services are available separately.
