Overview
This product has charges associated with it for TurnKey Linux integration, automated security updates, backup tooling, and bundled support. TurnKey Etherpad Lite helps save you time and money by providing a ready-to-run Etherpad Lite solution that is secure, supported and easy to maintain. The system auto-updates itself with security fixes and is built in a transparent 100% open source process free of hidden backdoors.
Etherpad Lite is a real-time collaborative editor, sort of like a web-based multiplayer Notepad that allows groups of users to simultaneously edit a text document, with the ability to display each author's text in their own color. There is also a chat box in the sidebar to allow meta communication.
Highlights
- Secure, supported and easy to maintain: auto-updated daily with latest security patches. Bundled support for no extra charge.
- Free from hidden backdoors and vendor lock-in: transparent 100% opensource build of Debian GNU/Linux with no proprietary components or secret sauce.
- Free 1-click backup, restore and migrate: bundled backup software saves changes to files, databases and package management to encrypted storage which servers can be automatically restored from.

Dimensions summary
You pay by the hour based on the EC2 instance type you choose to run this preconfigured Etherpad appliance. The software itself carries the same hourly rate across all options; your cost changes with the compute size you select. Choices span general-purpose families (m-series, t-series), compute-optimized families (c-series), memory-optimized families (r-series), and storage-optimized families (i-series). Within each family, prices scale with instance size, from nano and micro up through 2xlarge. Smaller instances suit light testing, while larger instances handle more concurrent editing. You can stop anytime, since billing follows actual usage hours.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
You get a preconfigured appliance with the real-time collaborative editor installed, a relational database set up for production, a web server proxy with SSL out of the box, and a mail transfer agent for sending email. It also bundles cloud backup, restore, and chat and email support through the vendor's hub.
Billing follows running hours, so the software charge stops accruing when the instance is powered off. Stopped instances may still incur AWS storage fees for the attached volume, but the software license meters active running time only. Restarting the instance resumes hourly charges.
The software rate is the same across every instance type listed. Your total cost changes because the underlying AWS compute charge differs by instance family and size. Picking a larger instance raises the compute portion of your bill, not the software portion.
