The Anbox Cloud Appliance brings Canonical Anbox Cloud to the public cloud. The appliance is intended for rapid prototyping of Android in the Cloud solutions on AWS. It offers a development playground for corporate innovation labs or startups, empowering innovators to realise disruptive mobile cloud computing ideas, or amazing new designs for infotainment systems of tomorrow. Game streaming, cloud based application management, device virtualization, cost effective application and Automotive OS system testing, and more exciting use cases are now accessible to you.
Main features:
Manage Android containers and VMs through a web-based graphical user interface
Ultra low latency video streaming on NVIDIA GPUs to power cloud gaming solutions
Super efficient server's resources utilization enabling high number of clients per server
Support for generic Android and even customized Android Automotive OS (AAOS)
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.
You pay by the hour for Anbox Cloud Appliance, with your rate tied to the AWS EC2 instance type you run it on. Each dimension maps to one specific instance size, so pricing scales with the compute, memory, storage, or GPU capacity of the instance you choose. Smaller instances cost less per hour; larger or GPU-accelerated instances cost more. There are no tiers or feature differences between dimensions — the software is the same, and your hourly charge reflects only the underlying instance you select for your Android workloads.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
What does one hourly unit map to for billing?
Each dimension maps to one AWS EC2 instance type. You pay the listed hourly rate for each running instance of that type. The rate reflects the instance size — its compute, memory, storage, or GPU capacity. Running more instances or larger types raises your hourly charge accordingly.
Am I charged when an instance running the appliance is stopped?
The software charge meters running instance-hours. A fully stopped instance does not accrue hourly software charges. Stopped instances may still incur underlying AWS storage fees for attached volumes, but those are separate from the appliance's hourly software rate.
Why do some dimensions use GPU instance types instead of standard compute ones?
GPU-accelerated instance types support graphics-heavy Android workloads such as app and game streaming. Standard compute or memory instance types suit testing, automation, and CI/CD workloads. You pick the instance type that fits your workload, and the hourly rate follows that choice.

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.

Usage instructions
For Ubuntu Cloud Guest it is suggested to manually configure your Security Group/Firewall settings. The 1-Click Security Group opens only port 22 so that you can access your instance via ssh using login 'ubuntu'. If you chose the 1-Click Security Group, you may change it later to enable applications using the AWS Console or API.
AWS Support is a one-on-one, fast-response support channel that is staffed 24x7x365 with experienced and technical support engineers. The service helps customers of all sizes and technical abilities to successfully utilize the products and features provided by Amazon Web Services.
