This is a repackaged software product wherein additional charges apply for the pre-installed, checksum-verified UniFi OS Server console with its podman runtime, Amazon CloudWatch log/metric shipping and AWS Systems Manager integration, security-hardened image preparation, and CloudSOE vendor support.
Overview
Deploy UniFi OS Server on AWS in minutes and get the complete UniFi OS management experience self-hosted. UniFi OS Server replaces the legacy self-hosted Network Server and delivers the same platform that runs on Cloud Keys and Cloud Gateways, including Organizations, identity provider (IdP) integration, Site Magic SD-WAN and full Site Manager compatibility for centralised multi-site control. This image ships a hardened base with Podman and all prerequisites staged; on first boot it installs the latest UniFi OS Server release directly from Ubiquiti's official download endpoint.
Why this matters now
If you self-host UniFi today on the legacy Network Server, Ubiquiti's platform direction is clear: UniFi OS Server is the new standard. It unlocks the UniFi OS features that never came to the old controller multi-tenant Organizations for MSPs, SSO via your identity provider, and Site Magic SD-WAN between sites while remaining free to run on your own infrastructure.
What you get out of the box
- Hardened base OS with CIS-aligned configuration
- Podman (v4.3+) and all host prerequisites pre-staged
- Let's Encrypt certificate import scripting for a trusted HTTPS console
- Automated backup configuration
Common use cases
- MSP multi-tenant management: Organizations support with per-client separation under one console
- Legacy Network Server migration: move to Ubiquiti's current self-hosting platform
- Enterprise SSO: integrate the console with your identity provider
- Multi-site SD-WAN: Site Magic between branches, managed from AWS
Usage notes
- Attach an IAM instance role with the AWS-managed policies CloudWatchAgentServerPolicy and AmazonSSMManagedInstanceCore to activate CloudWatch and Session Manager. No AWS credentials are stored on the image.
- Browse to https://:11443 (self-signed certificate) and complete the first-time setup with your Ubiquiti account. Check the service any time with sudo uosserver status.
- Ports: 22/tcp (SSH), 11443/tcp (console), 8080/tcp (device inform), 3478/udp (STUN), 10003/udp (device discovery); UniFi OS Server also uses 5005, 5514, 6789, 8444, 8880-8882 and 9543 - open them as your deployment requires.
- CloudWatch agent config: /opt/aws/amazon-cloudwatch-agent/etc/amazon-cloudwatch-agent.d/unifi-os-server.json
Quick Start:
- Browse to https://:11443 (self-signed certificate) and complete the first-time setup with your Ubiquiti account.

Dimensions summary
You pay by the hour for the EC2 instance size you run this software on. The software itself carries a usage-based charge tied to each instance type. Prices scale with the compute resources you choose. Smaller shared-core types like t2, t3 and t3a suit light workloads. General-purpose families such as m4, m5, m5a, m5d, m5n, m5dn, m5ad and m5zn cover balanced needs. Memory-focused families such as r5, r5a, r5b, r5d, r5n, r6a, r6i, r6id, r6in, r6idn and gr6 handle larger workloads. Metal options run on dedicated hardware. You select one instance type and pay only for hours used.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
Software charges accrue per hour while the instance runs. A fully stopped instance stops the hourly software charge. Underlying AWS storage fees for the stopped instance may still apply through your AWS account. The software meters running time only.
You get the UniFi OS Server image running on the EC2 instance size you pick. It ships Ubiquiti's official UniFi OS Server release in a rootless container runtime on a hardened base. You choose one instance type, and the hourly rate reflects that type's compute and memory.
The hourly software charge is tied to the instance type you select. Shared-core t2, t3 and t3a types cost less per hour than general-purpose m-family or memory-focused r-family types. Metal types run on dedicated hardware and sit at the upper range. You pay for one type at a time.
