Deploy a fully managed, secured, and optimized Prometheus monitoring stack in minutes. Includes automated Docker setup, SSL support, and optional domain mapping for seamless production monitoring.
This AMI provides a ready-to-use Prometheus Monitoring Stack designed for speed, security, and simplicity. It comes fully containerized with Docker Compose and served through Apache, making it production-ready out of the box.
Upon first boot, users are guided through a one-time configuration process to:
Map a custom domain to Prometheus
Automatically issue a Let's Encrypt SSL certificate
Deploy a Dockerized Prometheus instance with optimized defaults
All configurations are stored in an easy-to-manage .env file for transparency and reusability.
Whether you're monitoring Kubernetes clusters, Docker hosts, or standalone servers, this AMI eliminates setup complexity and ensures Prometheus is secured and optimized for continuous operation.
Highlights
Automated Setup: One-click deployment with interactive domain and SSL configuration during first boot.
Secured by Design: Includes HTTPS via Let's Encrypt and runs Prometheus inside a Docker container for isolation and reliability.
Optimized for Monitoring: Pre-tuned Prometheus instance ideal for infrastructure metrics, alerting, and seamless integration with Grafana.
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 EC2 instance size you choose to run this managed Prometheus deployment. The eight options fall into two families: T-series burstable instances (t2 and t3 in medium, large, and xlarge sizes) and M-series general-purpose instances (m5 in large and xlarge sizes). Each step up in size adds more compute and memory capacity, so your hourly rate scales with the instance you select. Billing is usage-based and runs through your AWS account, with no separate contract or fixed term.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
What resources and management do I get for each hourly instance rate?
Each rate covers a dedicated EC2 instance running Prometheus in a container, plus provisioning, SSL, monitoring, automated backups, security patches, and updates. The instance size you pick sets the compute and memory. Larger sizes add capacity for higher metric volumes and more scrape targets.
Am I charged when my Prometheus instance is stopped or idle?
Software charges meter running instance-hours, so a fully stopped instance stops accruing the hourly software fee. Underlying AWS resources like attached storage may still bill through your AWS account while the instance is stopped. Billing resumes when you start the instance again.
How do the T-series and M-series options differ for choosing my instance?
T-series (t2, t3) are burstable instances that suit variable or lighter monitoring loads with occasional spikes. M-series (m5) are general-purpose instances with steady CPU and memory for continuous, heavier workloads. You pick one instance and pay its hourly rate; sizes scale compute and memory within each family.

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 (t2.medium or larger).
Configure Security Group
Allow inbound traffic on ports 22 (SSH), 80 (HTTP), and 443 (HTTPS).
Connect to the Instance
ssh -i <your-key.pem> ubuntu@<public-ip>
First-Boot Setup
On first boot, the failsafe script automatically runs:
Prompts you to optionally map a custom domain for Prometheus.
Verifies that the domain's DNS A record points to your server IP.
Configures Apache and prepares the environment.
Configure DNS (if using a domain)
Add an A record in your DNS pointing to the instance's public IP.
The script automatically checks DNS propagation using multiple global resolvers.
Automatic SSL Setup
Enter the email for the certbot when prompted to receive the ssl expiry notifications.
Certbot issues and installs the SSL certificate.
Apache is configured to serve Prometheus securely over HTTPS.
Once DNS is validated, Certbot automatically issues and installs an SSL certificate.
Apache is configured to serve Prometheus securely over HTTPS.
Start Prometheus
The Prometheus container is automatically started via Docker Compose.
You can manually check or restart it:
cd /opt/app
docker compose ps
docker compose restart
Access Prometheus Dashboard
If no domain is used:
http://<public-ip>:9090
If a domain is configured with SSL:
https://<your-domain>
Environment File
All configuration details, including domain, IP, and port, are stored in:
/opt/app/.env
Reconfigure or Rerun Setup
To remap domains, reissue SSL, or rerun setup:
sudo bash /opt/app/firstboot.sh
Thank you for subscribing. Your instance is ready to go!
