Customer-operated single-instance edge routing and transfer service with token-protected APIs, local state and buyer-configured private endpoints. Complements a buyer delivery path; no hosted seller account is required.
Overview
HYDRA-CDN Edge Resilience packages a customer-operated edge routing and transfer service in the buyer AWS account. The included application exposes token-protected private-network APIs and local health/state operations. The buyer configures the origin/CDN/client integration and any private decode/service endpoints; the AMI does not provision a decoder cluster or a global delivery network.
First boot creates a unique API token. The application listens on plain HTTP8080 and must stay on a trusted private network or behind a buyer-managed TLS terminator; never send bearer credentials over an untrusted plaintext path. Admin and Redis ports remain private/loopback. No seller account, additional software purchase, hosted activation or upload to a seller service is required for the included workflow.
Application state and local Redis persistence belong to the instance. Existing launch/reboot evidence verifies health and retention of a test Redis key. Customer backup/restore, resource capacity, private-network configuration and origin fallback require operator setup and validation. At capacity, writes may fail. Shadow telemetry is bounded and does not change decode decisions.
This listing does not claim global-CDN replacement, end-to-end delivery guarantees, blackhole recovery, automatic origin fallback or fixed performance. Health checks do not establish a complete buyer delivery path. Historical synthetic loss/recovery experiments are not production-network measurements. EC2/EBS and buyer-enabled AWS services have separate AWS charges. Follow the version-specific guide for configuration, access and troubleshooting.
Highlights
- Customer-local edge routing/transfer APIs with buyer-configured private endpoints
- Unique firstboot API token, local state and explicit network protection requirements
- Documented single-instance operations, capacity and buyer recovery responsibilities

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.
Dimension | Description | Cost/hour |
|---|---|---|
t3.medium instance-hour Recommended | Hydra-CDN software usage on one t3.medium EC2 instance, per hour. | $0.50 |
c6i.large instance-hour | Hydra-CDN software usage on one c6i.large EC2 instance, per hour. | $0.50 |
c6i.xlarge instance-hour | Hydra-CDN software usage on one c6i.xlarge EC2 instance, per hour. | $1.50 |
m6i.xlarge instance-hour | Hydra-CDN software usage on one m6i.xlarge EC2 instance, per hour. | $1.50 |
c6i.4xlarge instance-hour | Hydra-CDN software usage on one c6i.4xlarge EC2 instance, per hour. | $4.00 |
Dimensions summary
You pay by the hour for running HYDRA-CDN software on an EC2 instance. Pricing is tied to the instance type you choose, not fixed tiers or feature packages. The five options span different compute sizes: a t3.medium, three compute-focused instances (c6i.large, c6i.xlarge, c6i.4xlarge), and a memory-balanced m6i.xlarge. Larger or more capable instances carry higher hourly rates. You scale cost by selecting the instance that fits your workload and by how many hours you run it. EC2, EBS, and other AWS services bill separately at standard AWS rates.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
One instance-hour is one hour of HYDRA-CDN software running on one EC2 instance of that type. Each running instance meters separately. This is a single-instance deployment, so the software does not run across multiple nodes. Partial hours and the exact rate depend on the instance type you launch.
Software charges meter running time only. A fully stopped or powered-off instance does not accrue HYDRA-CDN hourly charges. However, EBS storage and other buyer-enabled AWS services keep their normal AWS charges even when the instance is stopped. Application state on disk persists but is billed separately by AWS.
The hourly rate covers HYDRA-CDN software usage only. EC2, EBS, and any buyer-enabled AWS services bill at standard AWS rates. Backups, patching, multi-node setup, and private-network configuration are buyer operations. No high-availability, fixed latency, automatic failover, or fixed throughput is guaranteed.

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.
Version release notes
Customer-operated single-instance edge routing and transfer service with firstboot credentials, private HTTP API, local state and buyer-configured private endpoints. Existing image retained; documentation clarifies operations and recovery responsibilities. Shadow telemetry does not change decode decisions. No global CDN or zero-loss guarantee.
Additional details
Usage instructions
- Launch this Ubuntu24.04 AMI in your AWS account as ubuntu on a listed c6i.large/m6i.xlarge or sufficient instance. Restrict SSH22 to your administrator /32 or use authorized SSM access. Application HTTP8080 is plaintext: restrict it to a trusted private network or place it behind a customer-managed TLS terminator. Never expose bearer credentials over an untrusted plaintext connection. Keep admin9082 and Redis16379 private/loopback. 2. Run sudo systemctl show hydra-firstboot-token.service -p Result -p ExecMainStatus, then sudo systemctl is-active hydra-redis hydra-server and curl --fail http://127.0.0.1:8080/health . A completed firstboot oneshot may be inactive. 3. First boot creates the root-owned mode0600 token file /etc/hydra/hydra.env. Retrieve only within a private authorized administrative session; never put the token in user data, logs, tickets or seller messages. Use it as a Bearer token for protected client routes. 4. Inspect the installed hydra-server.service and configure DECODE_NODES to buyer-controlled private endpoints when applicable; no decoder cluster is provisioned. Connect the buyer origin/CDN/client path and separately verify delivery completion and origin fallback; a health response is not an end-to-end delivery result. 5. Inspect service status, local Redis ping, disk/memory and buyer backup/restore. State is under /var/lib/hydra-kv and /var/lib/hydra-redis. Local Redis capacity can reject writes; backups and multi-node deployment are buyer responsibilities. RGRK is bounded shadow telemetry and does not change decode decisions. No global-CDN, zero-loss or blackhole-recovery guarantee is made. No seller activation or second software purchase is required.
