A small log gateway for your instances. Fluent Bit 5.1.3 on Ubuntu 24.04 takes JSON logs over HTTPS, buffers them on disk and writes them to a local file, with guides for sending them on to CloudWatch Logs or S3.
Overview
Collect logs through one gateway. This image runs Fluent Bit 5.1.3 with an HTTPS JSON ingest, a bounded filesystem buffer and a local file destination, with documented steps for forwarding to CloudWatch Logs or S3.
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 the instance config; nothing sensitive is baked into the image. Fluent Bit listens on loopback only for HTTPS ingest. CloudWatch and S3 outputs remain optional customer IAM after launch. 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.
Reach it from other machines: To accept logs from other hosts, put a proxy you control in front of Fluent Bit, or change its listen address to the instance's private IP and allow only your own network in the security group. Do not bind it to 0.0.0.0 or open it to the internet.

This is a repackaged open source software product wherein additional charges apply for independent AWS packaging, validation, maintenance and setup documentation. Treasure Data / Chronosphere authors publish Fluent Bit under Apache-2.0; Software Sushi supplies the AMI recipe, pinned official Ubuntu amd64 package binary, first-boot TLS, loopback-only ingest defaults, bounded filesystem buffer, local file destination, and setup documentation without claiming upstream endorsement.
Highlights
- Pinned Fluent Bit 5.1.3 official Ubuntu amd64 package with provenance receipts.

Dimensions summary
You pay a single usage-based rate for this software. Billing is tied to each running instance-hour on a t3.medium EC2 instance. There is only one pricing dimension, so cost scales with how long the instance runs. If you run multiple instances or keep one running longer, the total goes up proportionally. AWS charges you separately for EC2 compute, EBS storage, and data transfer. These infrastructure costs are not part of the software rate shown in the table.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
You get Fluent Bit 5.1.3 on an Ubuntu 24.04 amd64 build. It includes HTTPS log ingest on loopback, a TLS certificate created on first boot, a bounded filesystem buffer, a local file output, and a monitoring API. No certificates or keys ship in the image.
Charges apply per running instance-hour. When the instance is fully stopped, software charges stop accruing. However, AWS may still bill you separately for EBS storage attached to a stopped instance. The software license meters running time only.
AWS bills EC2 compute, EBS storage, and data transfer separately from the software rate. If you route logs to external destinations like cloud log services or object storage, those services may charge their own usage fees. Always check the listing for current terms.

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.
Version release notes

Additional details
Usage instructions
- Launch t3.medium (16 GiB or larger encrypted gp3, IMDSv2) with an instance profile that has AmazonSSMManagedInstanceCore and outbound HTTPS. No inbound rules are needed. Copy-paste launch kit (role, security group, run-instances, CloudFormation): https://docs.softwaresushi.com/launch-kit/
- Connect: aws ssm start-session --target <instance-id>. After cloud-init finishes, run: sudo -iu ubuntu bash /opt/sushi/docs/demo.sh (expect a final line ending in DEMO_PASSED).
- Use it: Send JSON with a POST to port 9880 (path /ingest.local) over HTTPS, trusting /usr/local/share/sushi/fluent-bit/cert.pem. Records are written to /var/lib/fluent-bit/out/accepted.log. Health check: path /health.
- Secrets and access: No password is generated: the ingest uses TLS but not client authentication, so keep it private. To send from your computer, forward port 9880: aws ssm start-session --target <instance-id> --document-name AWS-StartPortForwardingSession --parameters '{"portNumber":["9880"],"localPortNumber":["9880"]}'
- Reach it from another host: Fluent Bit listens on loopback. Either put a proxy you control in front of it, or change its listen address to the instance's private IP and allow only your own network in the security group. Do not bind it to 0.0.0.0 or open it to the internet. Guide: https://docs.softwaresushi.com/fluent-bit/ . Support: info@softwaresushi.com
