NGINX Plus alternative at a fraction of the price. Patched NGINX with HTTP/3, upstream health checks, REST API, and advanced rate limiting. Built for AWS Graviton (arm64).
Overview
GetPageSpeed NGINX-MOD is a patched, performance-enhanced build of NGINX with the most commonly needed NGINX Plus-style features included out of the box. Launch this AMI and get a production-ready web server, reverse proxy, or load balancer in seconds. No compilation, no module juggling, no trial keys.
This listing is the Graviton (arm64) build, optimized for AWS Graviton processors (t4g, c6g, m6g, c7g, c8g, r7g, r8g, etc.). Same feature set as the x86_64 listing, with typically 20-40% better price/performance. For x86_64 instances see the sibling listing "GetPageSpeed NGINX-MOD": https://aws.amazon.com/marketplace/pp/prodview-xvudmzl5yfr6m
What you get:
Performance patches:
- server_tokens_none: stricter header control than upstream
- limit_req_rate: per-connection rate limiting with configurable burst
- dynamic_tls_records: adaptive TLS record sizing for lower TTFB
- max_headers raised to 100 (avoids silent failures under edge/HTTP/3)
- autoindex_natsort: natural sort for index listings
- http_v3_authority_host: correct Host handling under HTTP/3
Bundled modules (subset of NGINX Plus equivalents):
- http_upstream_check: active health checks for upstream servers
- http_proxy_connect: CONNECT method support for forward proxy
- http_api: JSON REST API for dynamic upstream reconfiguration
- The full GetPageSpeed module set for caching, security, and observability
HTTP/3 ready:
- Built with QuicTLS for native HTTP/3 / QUIC support
- Enable per-server: listen 443 quic reuseport;
Operational niceties:
- Zero manual activation. Licensing handled at boot via AWS instance identity.
- dnf update nginx-mod works out of the box (no repo-auth setup)
- firewalld + SELinux enforcing + key-only SSH by default
- Daily license renewal + telemetry to GetPageSpeed (soft mode, no blocking)
vs stock NGINX: Stock NGINX does not ship with these patches, does not bundle active health checks or the REST API, and does not ship with HTTP/3 on stable builds. With NGINX-MOD you get a tested, versioned build that stays current via dnf.
vs NGINX Plus ($2,500-$8,000/year per server): NGINX-MOD covers the features most Plus customers actually use: upstream health checks, REST API for dynamic reconfig, advanced rate limiting. For a fraction of the price. You do NOT get NGINX Plus closed-source extras (JavaScript execution engine, NGINX-JS modules, official F5 support).
vs rolling your own: Compiling NGINX with a dozen modules, HTTP/3, and the right patch set takes half a day the first time and breaks on every major upstream bump. Let us maintain the build. You ship features.
Highlights
- NGINX Plus alternative at a fraction of the price. Active upstream health checks, REST API for dynamic reconfig, advanced rate limiting, and native HTTP/3 / QUIC support out of the box.
- Optimized for AWS Graviton (arm64): t4g, m6g/m7g/m8g, c6g/c7g/c8g, r6g/r7g/r8g, x2gd, and Graviton-only families. Same feature set as the x86_64 listing, with typically 20-40% better price/performance.
- Zero manual activation. License is fetched at boot via AWS instance identity. dnf update nginx-mod works out of the box, with firewalld + SELinux enforcing + key-only SSH by default.

Pricing
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.

Dimensions summary
You pay by the hour for a pre-built machine image that runs the optimized NGINX build on AWS Graviton (arm64) instances. Every dimension maps to a specific Graviton instance size, from small burstable types like t4g.nano up to large metal instances such as c8gd.metal-48xl. The software rate stays the same across instances; your cost scales with the compute size you pick. Larger instances carry a higher hourly rate to match their added CPU, memory, and storage. Choose the instance family and size that fits your workload, then add AWS compute charges separately.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
The hourly rate covers a pre-built Amazon Linux 2023 machine image with the optimized NGINX build. It includes HTTP/3, full HPACK header compression, kernel TLS, active health checks, and a REST-based Dynamic Upstream API. You can add optional dynamic modules on top from the vendor repository.
The hourly software rate meters running instance time only. A stopped instance stops accruing software charges. You may still pay AWS for attached storage while the instance is stopped, but that is separate from the software rate on this listing.
Two charges apply together for each running hour. The software rate is the same across every Graviton instance size. Your AWS compute cost varies by the instance you pick, so the compute portion drives the difference between a t4g.nano and a large metal instance.

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.
