Cordova 13.0.0 on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS with Free Maintenance Support by kCloud

Cordova on Ubuntu 24.04 is available on the AWS Cloud Marketplace as a repackaged open-source offering, with optional maintenance support depending on the seller (kCloudHubs). Cordova helps developers build cross-platform mobile apps using a single codebase written in HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript, and deploy apps to platforms like Android and iOS without writing separate native apps.

This Marketplace AMI provides a ready-to-run Cordova environment on Amazon EC2, so you can start building and testing mobile apps in the cloud without manual setup.
