This product has charges associated with it for seller support. NATS, or the "Nano Message Bus," is a lightweight and high-performance messaging system designed for building scalable and efficient distributed systems. It follows a publish-subscribe messaging pattern and is known for its simplicity and speed. NATS is open-source and widely used for its ability to handle massive message volumes with low latency, making it suitable for various applications such as microservices architecture, IoT (Internet of Things), and cloud-native environments.
NATS 2.14.2 on Ubuntu 26.04 with Free Maintenance Support by ATH Infosystems
NATS on Amazon (AWS) Marketplace delivers a high-performance, event-driven messaging layer for distributed systems running on AWS. The architecture is designed to be lightweight, scalable, and secure, enabling asynchronous communication between microservices, applications, and edge workloads.
Why Use NATS on AWS Marketplace?
Extremely low latency and high throughput
Lightweight footprint that reduces EC2 costs
Simple operational model with fast startup and recovery
Horizontal scaling with native clustering
Works across cloud, hybrid, and edge environments
Secure by default with encryption and fine-grained access control
Ready-to-use AMI with free maintenance support from ATH Infosystems
Clustering and High Availability
NATS supports native clustering, allowing multiple NATS nodes to operate as a single logical messaging system. This ensures high availability and resiliency for production workloads.
Horizontal scaling via additional EC2 instances
Automatic message routing across cluster members
Fault tolerance through node redundancy
Super-cluster support for multi-AZ or multi-region deployments
Security Architecture
Security is built into every layer:
TLS encryption for all client and server connections
Authentication using users, credentials, or tokens
Fine-grained authorization using subject-level permissions
Network isolation using VPCs, subnets, and security groups
Deployment Models
Single-node deployment for development and testing
Clustered deployment for production workloads
Multi-AZ architecture for high availability
Edge-to-cloud architecture using distributed NATS nodes
Operational Characteristics
Minimal CPU and memory footprint
Fast startup and recovery times
Simple configuration and management
Stateless core enables easy rolling updates
Observability through metrics and logs

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.
Additional AWS infrastructure costs may apply. Use the AWS Pricing Calculator to estimate your infrastructure costs.
If you are an AWS Free Tier customer with a free plan, you are eligible to subscribe to this offer. You can use free credits to cover the cost of eligible AWS infrastructure. See AWS Free Tier for more details. If you created an AWS account before July 15th, 2025, and qualify for the Legacy AWS Free Tier, Amazon EC2 charges for Micro instances are free for up to 750 hours per month. See Legacy AWS Free Tier for more details.
You pay by the hour based on the EC2 instance size you run this software on. All 21 options carry the same NATS software with maintenance support; they differ only by compute capacity. General-purpose types (t2, t3, m3, m4, m5) suit typical workloads, while t3.nano, t2.micro, and t3.micro fit light usage. Compute-optimized types (c3, c4, c5) target processing-heavy needs. Memory-optimized types (r3, r4, r5) handle memory-intensive work. Larger instances cost more per hour. You are also billed separately by AWS for the underlying infrastructure.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
What does one hour of billing cover for a given instance type?
You pay for each hour an instance runs. One hour equals one running EC2 instance of the size you chose, such as t3.medium or r5.large. Each instance you launch bills separately. The rate matches the instance type; larger types carry a higher hourly rate.
Am I charged the software fee when my instance is stopped?
The hourly software charge applies only while an instance runs. Stopped or terminated instances do not accrue the software fee. Stopped instances may still incur AWS storage charges for attached volumes, billed separately by AWS. The software meters running time only.
What is included beyond the software, and what do I pay AWS for separately?
The hourly rate covers the NATS software and maintenance support from the vendor. You pay AWS separately for the underlying EC2 compute, storage, and data transfer. These two charges appear together on your AWS bill but are priced independently.

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.
