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.
You pay by the hour based on the AWS EC2 instance size that runs your managed Apache Superset deployment. The eight dimensions map to specific instance types across three families. The t2 options (t2.medium, t2.large, t2.xlarge) and t3 options (t3.medium, t3.large, t3.xlarge) are burstable general-purpose sizes. The m5 options (m5.large, m5.xlarge) are steady-state general-purpose sizes. Within each family, price scales up with the instance size you choose. You select the instance that fits your compute needs and pay only for the hours it runs.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
What runs on the instance I pay for, and what does the vendor manage?
Each instance runs a managed Apache Superset deployment, a business intelligence and visualization platform. The vendor handles provisioning, SSL, monitoring, daily backups, updates, and security patches. You pick the instance size that fits your workload and use the platform without managing servers yourself.
Am I charged when my instance is stopped or paused?
The hourly software charge meters running time only. A stopped instance does not accrue the hourly software fee. However, underlying AWS resources such as storage may still incur separate AWS fees while the instance is stopped. The software charge applies only for the hours the instance runs.
How do the burstable t2 and t3 sizes differ from the m5 sizes for my workload?
The t2 and t3 sizes are burstable general-purpose instances. They suit workloads with occasional spikes and lower steady demand. The m5 sizes are steady-state general-purpose instances built for continuous, consistent compute. All bill per hour; choose based on whether your Superset usage is bursty or sustained.

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.

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 the following ports:
22 (SSH) - for secure access to the instance
80 (HTTP) - for web traffic
443 (HTTPS) - for secure SSL connections
Connect to the Instance
ssh -i <your-key.pem> ubuntu@<public-ip>
First-Boot Setup
On the first boot, the initialization script automatically performs the following actions:
Prompts you to optionally map a custom domain for Superset.
Validates that your DNS A record correctly points to the instance's public IP.
Configures Apache as a reverse proxy for Superset and prepares the environment.
Configure DNS (if using a domain)
Add an A record in your DNS pointing to the instance's public IP address.
The setup script automatically verifies DNS propagation using multiple global resolvers.
Automatic SSL Setup
Certbot automatically issues and installs a Let's Encrypt SSL certificate after DNS validation.
Apache is reconfigured to serve Superset securely over HTTPS.
Start Superset
The Superset containers are automatically started using Docker Compose.
To manually verify or restart the containers:
cd /opt/app
docker compose ps
docker compose restart
Access Superset Dashboard
If no domain is configured:
http://<public-ip>:8088
If a domain with SSL is configured:
https://<your-domain>
Login to Superset
Default credentials are stored in /opt/app/.env
You can view them using:
cat /opt/app/.env
Default password: stored securely in .env file
Environment File
All configuration details - domain, IP, ports, SSL status, and credentials - are stored in:
/opt/app/.env
Thank you for subscribing. Your instance is ready to go!
