Overview
Node.js 20 on Amazon Linux 2023 provides a fully configured, production-ready environment for building and running Node.js applications on AWS.
This AMI is built on a minimal installation of Amazon Linux 2023, updated to the latest security patches, and includes Node.js 20 LTS runtime pre-installed and configured. It is designed for developers and teams who want to deploy Node.js workloads quickly without spending time on environment setup and configuration.
Key components included:
- Node.js 20 LTS runtime
- npm package manager
- Nginx web server (reverse proxy)
- PM2 process manager
- Core build tools (gcc, make, python3)
- Git version control
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 web application backends, REST APIs, microservices, real-time applications, serverless function development, CLI tools, and general Node.js development workflows.
Highlights
- Ready to use - Node.js 20 LTS with npm, Nginx reverse proxy, and PM2 process manager pre-installed and configured. Launch and start coding immediately without manual setup.
- Security hardened - Built on Amazon Linux 2023 with automatic security updates, key-based SSH only, and minimal attack surface.
- Production optimized - Minimal footprint with only essential packages installed. Fast boot time and low resource overhead for cost-effective deployments.

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.
