This is a repackaged open source software product wherein additional charges apply for image hardening, maintenance, and support. Qdrant vector database on Amazon Linux 2023, security-hardened for production: minimal package set, SSH key-only access, IMDSv2-only, bound to loopback until you set an API key, and continuously patched images.
Overview
Qdrant (Hardened) on Amazon Linux 2023 is a production-ready, security-hardened image of the Qdrant vector database and similarity-search engine - the storage layer for AI embeddings, retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), and recommendation systems - maintained and supported by Derek Coleman & Associates Inc.
This is repackaged open-source software. Qdrant is developed by Qdrant and its open-source community and is distributed under the Apache License 2.0. Qdrant is a trademark of its owner; this listing is not endorsed by or affiliated with Qdrant. This product bundles the unmodified upstream Qdrant release binary on a hardened Amazon Linux 2023 base; the charges associated with this listing are for image hardening, continuous patching, vulnerability scanning, and business-day support - not for the underlying open-source software, which remains free.
Hardening baseline: minimal package footprint, SSH key-only access (password authentication disabled), IMDSv2 enforced, Qdrant running as a dedicated non-root user and bound to 127.0.0.1 (Qdrant ships with no authentication, so exposing the HTTP/gRPC ports is a deliberate customer step: set service.api_key in /etc/qdrant/config.yaml, widen service.host, and open ports 6333-6334 to trusted CIDRs). The health endpoint is verified at build time. Images are rebuilt, scanned for HIGH and CRITICAL vulnerabilities, and republished on a regular cadence so that new launches start current.
Highlights
- Production-ready: systemd-managed Qdrant 1.18 with HTTP (6333) and gRPC (6334) APIs; storage under /var/lib/qdrant.
- Security-hardened at build time: minimal packages, key-only SSH, IMDSv2-only, non-root service user, bound to loopback until you set an API key.
- Continuously patched: rebuilt, vulnerability-scanned, and republished on a regular cadence.

|---|---|
c7i.2xlarge Recommended | $0.92 |
c7i.4xlarge | $1.84 |
c7i.xlarge | $0.46 |
Dimensions summary
You pay hourly for the software based on the EC2 instance size you launch. Three options are available: c7i.xlarge (4 vCPU / 8 GiB), c7i.2xlarge (8 vCPU / 16 GiB), and c7i.4xlarge (16 vCPU / 32 GiB). The software rate scales with vCPU count, so larger instances cost more per hour. AWS infrastructure charges are separate and billed by AWS. There is no subscription and no minimum. Charges stop when you terminate the instance.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
The hourly software charge covers image hardening, continuous patching, vulnerability scanning, and business-day support. The Qdrant binary itself is unmodified open-source under Apache License 2.0 and remains free. AWS infrastructure charges are separate and billed by AWS.
The software rate meters running instance-hours only. Charges stop when you terminate the instance. There is no subscription and no minimum. A stopped instance may still incur AWS storage fees for the attached gp3 EBS volume, but that is billed separately by AWS.
Each size maps to vCPU and memory: c7i.xlarge (4 vCPU / 8 GiB), c7i.2xlarge (8 vCPU / 16 GiB), and c7i.4xlarge (16 vCPU / 32 GiB). Larger instances handle more data and query load. Each launch uses one EC2 instance and one gp3 EBS volume. The vendor recommends c7i.2xlarge.

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
[Security] Refreshed image: rebuilt on the latest hardened Amazon Linux 2023 baseline; all OS packages current at build.
