A private single-node key-value cache for your applications. Valkey 9.1.2 on Ubuntu 24.04 with TLS, a password-protected cache user, a 1536 MiB cap and least-recently-used eviction. Data is kept in memory only and is not persisted.
Overview
Add a fast, private cache next to your application. This image runs Valkey 9.1.2 with TLS and a restricted cache user, a 1536 MiB memory cap with least-recently-used eviction, and no persistence, so it behaves as a disposable cache. Needs a 4 GiB RAM instance.
Launch this version on t3.medium with at least 16 GiB encrypted root storage and at least 4 GiB RAM. Connect with AWS Systems Manager Session Manager. You land as ssm-user; run sudo -iu ubuntu to switch to the ubuntu account. SSH is off: no key pair is attached and no inbound rule is needed. First boot creates TLS material, the cache password and ACL; nothing sensitive is baked into the image. Valkey listens on loopback only. Persistence is off: a restart drops every key. Keep credentials out of recordings and tickets.
The standard software fee is described in the AWS Marketplace offer terms. EC2, EBS and data-transfer charges are billed separately. See the offer terms for applicable billing promotions.
After launch, wait for cloud-init to finish, then follow the bundled README for configuration, backup and day-2 operations.
Reach it from other machines: To let other hosts in your VPC connect, add the instance's private IP to the bind line in /etc/valkey/valkey.conf, issue a server certificate that includes that address (the Configuration guide has the commands), restart Valkey and allow TCP 6379 only from your application's security group.

This is a repackaged open source software product wherein additional charges apply for independent AWS packaging, validation, maintenance and setup documentation. Valkey contributors publish the server under BSD-3-Clause; Software Sushi supplies the AMI recipe, pinned official tag archive, TLS-enabled build, first-boot identity and ACL, loopback-only defaults, and setup documentation without claiming upstream endorsement.
Highlights
- Pinned Valkey 9.1.2 official tag archive build with TLS and provenance receipts.
- First-boot TLS, ACL, 1536 MiB cap, allkeys-lru and no RDB/AOF persistence.
- Bundled configuration, backup and day-2 operations documentation.

Dimensions summary
This listing uses one usage-based pricing dimension billed per hour on the t3.medium instance type. You pay the hourly software fee only while the instance runs, so costs scale with runtime. There are no tiers or quantity commitments to choose between. AWS charges for infrastructure such as EC2, EBS storage, and data transfer separately from this software fee. The recommended setup pairs the t3.medium instance with memory and an encrypted root volume, giving you a single, straightforward rate to track.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
You get a single-node cache running Valkey 9.1.2 with loopback TLS, one access control list user, and a 1536 MiB memory cap using LRU eviction. The recommended t3.medium has at least 4 GiB of memory and an encrypted root volume of at least 16 GiB.
The hourly software fee applies only while the instance runs. A stopped instance does not accrue the software fee. Note that AWS may still charge for attached EBS storage while the instance is stopped. The cache holds no persistence, so a restart empties stored keys.
AWS bills EC2 compute, EBS storage, and data transfer separately from the software fee. These infrastructure charges are not part of the hourly rate shown. You pay for the running instance plus the underlying AWS resources it uses. Review the current listing terms before subscribing.

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
Valkey 9.1.2 on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS, packaged by Software Sushi. The guided demo is repeatable and survives a service restart. The documentation under /opt/sushi/docs is root-owned and a first-login guide appears after sudo -iu ubuntu. Connect with Session Manager, run sudo -iu ubuntu, then bash /opt/sushi/docs/demo.sh. Configure your own provider keys and models privately after launch.

Usage instructions
- Launch t3.medium (4 GiB RAM, 16 GiB or larger encrypted gp3, IMDSv2) with an instance profile that has AmazonSSMManagedInstanceCore and outbound HTTPS. No inbound rules are needed. Copy-paste launch kit (role, security group, run-instances, CloudFormation): https://docs.softwaresushi.com/launch-kit/
- Connect: aws ssm start-session --target <instance-id>. You land as ssm-user; sudo -iu ubuntu switches to the ubuntu account and shows the first-login guide. After cloud-init finishes, run: sudo -iu ubuntu bash /opt/sushi/docs/demo.sh (expect a final line ending in DEMO_PASSED).
- Use it: On the instance: sudo /opt/sushi/bin/valkey-cache-cli PING, then SET cache:session:demo 'user=pilot;cart=2' and GET cache:session:demo. Keys must start with cache:.
- Secrets and access: The cache user's password is /etc/valkey/credentials/cache.password (root only: sudo cat to read it). Give clients the CA file /usr/local/share/sushi/valkey/ca.pem. To use it from your computer, forward port 6379: aws ssm start-session --target <instance-id> --document-name AWS-StartPortForwardingSession --parameters '{"portNumber":["6379"],"localPortNumber":["6379"]}'
- Reach it from another host: add the instance's private IP to the bind line in /etc/valkey/valkey.conf, issue a server certificate that includes that address (commands in the Configuration guide), restart Valkey and allow TCP 6379 only from your application's security group. Keep TLS on and the default user off. Guide: https://docs.softwaresushi.com/valkey/ . Support: info@softwaresushi.com
