Production-ready Redis with full root access, automated backups, and security hardening - an alternative to ElastiCache for teams needing OS-level control and custom configurations on AWS.
This fully managed Redis solution delivers a production-ready, hardened in-memory data store on AWS, built on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS. Every instance is pre-configured with security best practices, persistence settings, and automated operations.
Key Features
Automated Setup and Configuration
On first login, an interactive setup script configures Redis with secure passwords, persistence settings, and firewall rules - all within minutes.
Built-in Backup and Recovery
Pre-configured daily RDB snapshots with 7-day retention. One-command restore for fast recovery. Export snapshots to S3 for additional resilience.
Security Hardened
Password authentication enabled by default, UFW firewall pre-configured to allow only SSH (22) and Redis (6379) from trusted sources, protected-mode enabled, and latest security patches applied.
Performance Optimized
maxmemory and eviction policies tuned for the selected instance type. Persistence settings balanced between durability and performance.
Use Cases
Application caching and session management
Real-time leaderboards and counting
Message queuing and pub/sub messaging
Rate limiting and API throttling
Geospatial data indexing and queries
Machine learning feature stores and real-time inference caching
Getting Started
Launch the AMI from AWS Marketplace on your preferred instance type
SSH into your instance and follow the interactive setup wizard
Your Redis server is production-ready with backups, firewall, and tuning configured automatically

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 for the EC2 instance that runs your managed Redis instance. Each dimension maps to one AWS instance type, grouped by family: general purpose (m, t), compute optimized (c), memory optimized (r, x, z, u), storage optimized (d, i), and accelerated or specialized (g, p, f, inf, trn, vt, dl, h, hpc). Within each family, larger sizes carry a higher hourly rate. You choose the instance that fits your memory, compute, and storage needs. Billing scales with the hours each selected instance runs. No upfront commitment applies to this usage-based model.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
What do I actually get when I subscribe to one of these hourly instance types?
You get a dedicated managed Redis instance running on the EC2 instance type you select. Perimattic handles provisioning, TLS, daily backups, monitoring, upgrades, and security patching. The instance runs in your chosen cloud region with full admin access and no shared tenancy.
Am I charged when my instance is stopped or paused?
The hourly rate meters running time only. A fully stopped instance stops accruing the software charge. Stopped instances may still incur underlying AWS storage fees for attached volumes, but the hourly software charge applies only while the instance runs.
How does my bill change if I switch to a larger instance size?
Each dimension is one EC2 instance type billed per hour. Moving to a larger size within a family raises the hourly rate for every hour it runs. You are billed for the instance currently running, so the new rate applies from the moment you switch.

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
Security and maintenance refresh.
Rebuilt from a current Ubuntu 24.04 base image and fully patched, addressing
the operating-system vulnerabilities reported by the AWS Marketplace
security scan.
Built by an automated, reproducible EC2 Image Builder pipeline rather than
by hand, so future security refreshes ship on a monthly schedule.
Hardened: SSH password authentication and direct root login are disabled,
SSH host keys are generated per instance on first boot, and no credentials,
shell history or build-host identity is present in the image.
Container runtime consolidated onto the Ubuntu-maintained Docker packages
so it is patched automatically, and Docker Compose is now installed
explicitly rather than relied upon.
Additional details
Usage instructions
Launch an Instance
From AWS Marketplace, click Continue to Subscribe and then Continue to Configuration.
Choose the Recommended Instance Type
Select t2.medium or larger for optimal performance.
Configure Security Group
Allow inbound traffic on ports 22 (SSH), 80 (HTTP), and 443 (HTTPS).
Connect to the Instance
ssh -i <your-key.pem> ubuntu@<public-ip>
First-Boot Setup
On the first boot, the failsafe.sh script automatically runs and performs:
Prompts to optionally map a custom domain for RedisInsight.
Validates that the DNS A record for your domain correctly points to the instance's public IP.
Generates a secure RedisInsight password (or uses your input).
Configures Apache with optional SSL and Basic Auth for secure access.
Starts RedisInsight inside Docker Compose.
Configure DNS (if using a domain)
Add an A record in your DNS pointing to the instance's public IP.
The setup script verifies DNS propagation using multiple global resolvers.
Automatic SSL Setup
Enter your admin email when prompted by Certbot to receive SSL expiry notifications.
Certbot automatically issues and installs a Let's Encrypt SSL certificate once DNS validation is successful.
Apache is reconfigured to serve RedisInsight securely over HTTPS.
Start RedisInsight
The RedisInsight container starts automatically using Docker Compose.
You can manually verify or restart the container:
cd /opt/app
docker compose ps
docker compose restart
Access RedisInsight Dashboard
Without a domain:
http://<public-ip>:8001
With a domain and SSL:
https://<your-domain>
Login to RedisInsight
Default credentials are stored in /opt/app/.env:
Username: root
Password: auto-generated or provided during first boot
Environment File
All configuration details, including domain, IP, ports, SSL status, and credentials, are stored in:
/opt/app/.env
Thank you for subscribing. Your instance is ready to go!
