This is a repackaged open source software product wherein additional charges apply for AMI packaging, first-boot configuration and setup documentation. Run PgBouncer 1.26.0 on Ubuntu 24.04 as a localhost PostgreSQL connection pooler with client TLS, SCRAM auth, and first-boot identity.
This is a repackaged open source software product wherein additional charges apply for independent AWS packaging, validation, maintenance and setup documentation. Marko Kreen, Skype Technologies OU, and PgBouncer contributors publish PgBouncer under the ISC License; Software Sushi supplies the AMI recipe, pinned official source tarball, compiled pooler with OpenSSL and systemd, first-boot CA/TLS and SCRAM userlist, loopback-only defaults, and setup documentation without claiming upstream endorsement.
Launch the approved version on t3.medium with at least 16 GiB encrypted root storage and at least 2 GiB RAM. Connect with AWS Systems Manager as ubuntu or restrict SSH to your administrative CIDR. First boot creates TLS material and passwords; nothing sensitive is baked into the image. PgBouncer listens on loopback only (port 6432). PostgreSQL packages are a localhost smoke helper only and stay disabled as a permanent service. 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.

This listing uses one usage-based dimension billed hourly on a t3.medium instance. You pay for the software by the hour that the instance runs, so your cost scales directly with runtime. There are no tiers or separate feature levels to choose from. The software deploys as a machine image that runs on Amazon EC2 in your own AWS account. AWS infrastructure costs such as compute, storage, and data transfer are billed separately from this hourly software charge.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
What resources does the t3.medium hourly dimension cover, and what is billed separately?
The hourly charge covers the connection pooler software running on a t3.medium Amazon EC2 instance in your AWS account. AWS infrastructure such as compute, storage, networking, and data transfer is billed separately. You retain control of the instance, region, and connected services.
Am I charged when the instance is stopped or powered off?
The hourly software charge applies while the t3.medium instance runs. When you stop the instance, the hourly software charge stops accruing. Stopped instances may still incur AWS storage fees for attached volumes, but those are AWS charges separate from the software price.
Do I need to add credentials or extra setup after launching the image?
The software deploys as a machine image on Amazon EC2 in your account. You add your own configuration after launch and manage the environment yourself. The pricing covers only the running software; connected external services may require their own accounts and charges.
