This is a repackaged open source software product wherein additional charges apply for the pre-configured fail2ban SSH and SIP brute-force protection, the Kamailio file log for CloudWatch shipping, Amazon CloudWatch log/metric shipping, AWS Systems Manager integration, security hardening, and vendor support.
Deploy a production ready Kamailio SIP server on AWS in minutes. Built for VoIP engineers, ITSPs and platform teams who need carrier grade SIP routing, registration and load balancing in front of media servers such as Asterisk or FreePBX, without spending days compiling modules, tuning the database backend and hardening the host.
Why Kamailio, and why this image
Kamailio (formerly OpenSER) routes thousands of call setups per second on modest hardware. It is the standard open source choice for SIP registrars, proxy layers and least cost routing front ends. This image removes the two barriers that slow real deployments: module and database assembly, and the security work needed before a SIP port can safely face the internet. SIP services are scanned within minutes of coming online; this image assumes that from the start.
What you get out of the box
Latest stable Kamailio from the official project repository, with the commonly needed modules enabled: registrar, usrloc, dispatcher, dialog, TLS, WebSocket, database connectivity
WebSocket support staged for WebRTC gateway scenarios
Anti fraud and abuse defaults: fail2ban rules for SIP scanners, pike module rate limiting, and a firewall stance that exposes only the ports you choose
kamctl and kamcmd management tooling configured and documented
Common use cases
SIP load balancer: distribute registrations and calls across an Asterisk or FreePBX cluster using the dispatcher module
Registrar and proxy layer: terminate registrations at the edge and keep media servers private
ITSP core: routing, authentication and rate limiting for a service provider platform
WebRTC gateway front end: WebSocket SIP toward browsers, standard SIP toward your core
Geographic redundancy: stateless proxy design suits multi region active active layouts
Sizing guidance
Kamailio is CPU light for signalling. Evaluation and small deployments: t3.small. Production proxy or registrar: t3.medium or t3.2xlarge. High registration churn or large routing tables benefit from memory, not cores.

Highlights
Kamailio installed from the official upstream repository, enabled and running at first boot with its configuration at /etc/kamailio/kamailio.cfg.
fail2ban pre-configured and active with sshd and kamailio jails (escalating bans: 5 failures in 10 minutes = 1 hour, up to 1 week), a ready-made Kamailio auth-failure filter, key-only SSH, root login disabled, no baked-in secrets.
Amazon CloudWatch agent ships /var/log/kamailio.log, fail2ban.log, syslog and auth.log and publishes host metrics under CloudSOE/kamailio; Amazon SSM Agent for Session Manager; vendor support from CloudSOE.

If you are an AWS Free Tier customer with a free plan, you are eligible to subscribe to this offer. You can use free credits to cover the cost of eligible AWS infrastructure. See AWS Free Tier for more details. If you created an AWS account before July 15th, 2025, and qualify for the Legacy AWS Free Tier, Amazon EC2 charges for Micro instances are free for up to 750 hours per month. See Legacy AWS Free Tier for more details.
You pay by the hour for the EC2 instance type you choose to run the Kamailio SIP server image. The software price is the same across instances; your hourly rate changes with the instance size and family you pick. Options range from small burstable types like t3.nano and t2.micro up to large compute- and memory-optimized instances, including bare-metal types. General-purpose (m-series) and memory-optimized (r-series) families let you match CPU and memory to your SIP routing load. Billing flows through your AWS account, so you scale by selecting a larger or smaller instance as needs change.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
What do I actually get when I launch one of these hourly instances?
You get a pre-built image with the latest stable Kamailio SIP server on a hardened Ubuntu base. It includes fail2ban tuned against SIP abuse using journald-based detection. The image is set up for SIP proxies, registrars, load balancers and session border control.
Am I charged when the instance is stopped?
Hourly charges apply to running instance-hours. When you stop an instance, the software charge stops accruing. You pay again once it runs. Underlying AWS storage fees may still apply while the instance is stopped, since those are separate from the software licence.
How do I scale if my SIP routing load grows or shrinks?
You scale by choosing a larger or smaller instance type. Moving from a t-series burstable type to an m-series or r-series instance raises the hourly rate. Memory-heavy routing favors r-series types; balanced CPU and memory favors m-series. Billing adjusts automatically to the instance you run.

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
Quick Start:
SSH in as 'ubuntu'; configuration lives in /etc/kamailio/kamailio.cfg (tools: kamctl, kamcmd).
fail2ban is active (sshd + kamailio jails) - whitelist your admin IP first: sudo fail2ban-client set sshd addignoreip <your-ip>.
See /etc/motd on the instance for how to arm SIP auth-failure banning.
Monitoring: attach an IAM instance role with the AWS-managed policies CloudWatchAgentServerPolicy and AmazonSSMManagedInstanceCore to enable CloudWatch logs/metrics (namespace CloudSOE/kamailio) and Session Manager. No AWS credentials are stored on the image.
