Dimensions summary
You pay by the hour for the EC2 instance that runs this preconfigured messaging appliance. Software cost is bundled into the hourly rate, and you choose the instance type that fits your workload. Options range from small burstable types like t3 and t2 sizes to compute-focused c-family, memory-focused r-family, and storage-focused i-family instances. Larger instances add more CPU, memory, or storage and cost more per hour. Pricing scales with the size and class you select, so you match the rate to your team size and expected traffic.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
The hourly rate bundles the open-source messaging appliance with its supporting stack. This includes a web server preconfigured to proxy the app, a relational database recommended for production, a database admin frontend, SSL support, and a mail transfer agent for email like password recovery. No separate software license fee applies.
The software charge meters running instance-hours. A fully stopped instance does not accrue the hourly software rate. Note that a stopped instance may still incur underlying AWS storage fees for its attached volumes, which are separate from this appliance's hourly software charge.
Each hour covers one running EC2 instance of the size you select, plus the bundled appliance software. Burstable t-family sizes suit lighter, variable use. Compute-focused c-family, memory-focused r-family, and storage-focused i-family sizes give more CPU, memory, or storage per hour for heavier team traffic.

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.

Usage instructions
System Initialization:
After creating an EC2 instance with 1-Click, browse to http://<Public_DNS>/ for system initialization instructions.
Alternatively, log in via SSH as user 'admin' to the running instance. Be sure to use the SSH keypair selected during launch.
This inital step is required to set sensitive passwords & install security updates. You may also be asked to set a domain name for your server. If this is required, then it must be a valid domain name (i.e. have DNS configured).
Accessing the software main web app
http://<Public_DNS>/
This may redirect to https and/or the domain set at initialisation.
OS commands via SSH
Log into the running instance via SSH as user 'admin', using the SSH keypair set at launch time. Use sudo to run commands requiring root access.
Web based System Admin control panel

Remove scary browser warnings
By default TurnKey AMIs ship with randomly generated self signed SSL/TLS certifcates. This will cause scary warning in your web browser When accessing https.
To remove the browser warnings, you will need to get a SSL/TLS certificate signed by an authorized Certificate Authority (CA). The recommended way to do that is to get a free Let's Encrypt SSL certificate. TurnKey comes with a built in tool to do that within your instance:
-
Ensure that you have your chosen domain DNS records configured and your domain resolves to your instance.
-
Access your instance via SSH.
-
Run 'sudo confconsole'.
-
Select:
Advanced >> Lets Encrypt >> Gen cert

Review from a verified AWS customer
Setup process was easy and worked as described. Product actually offers far more functionalities than advertised (admin page for database, admin page for debian) so after initial setup you don't have to use SSH and console any more. I suggest reading through their webpage to see all the functionalities you are getting.
Static files can be stored on AWS S3 and mails can be routed through AWS SES which is great. You can't configure AWS RDS as a database solution (AFAIK) but 2GB of space on suggested instance should be enough for mattermost.
Backups work as a charm (unlimited number stored on your account's S3 (automatically created), size per backup cca. 10MB). I suggest setting up backups from console because turnkey hub is not that intuitive for AWS MP customers (staff is great though and they promised they will change hub so it takes AWS MP customers into consideration).
AWS policy suggested for setting up backups can be narrowed down if you are only using Mattermost.
