Overview
Weaviate running on the AMI
Weaviate 1.38 running as a systemd service behind nginx: readiness probe returns 200, the data API is gated by a per-instance API key (anonymous access disabled), secure by default.
This is a repackaged open source software product wherein additional charges apply for cloudimg support services.
Overview Weaviate is the popular open source vector database built for AI applications. It stores data objects together with their vector embeddings and runs fast semantic, keyword and hybrid search over them through GraphQL and REST APIs, making it a strong backend for retrieval augmented generation, recommendation and similarity search. This image delivers Weaviate fully installed and configured as a system service, so a production ready vector database is running within minutes of launch. The current release available is Weaviate 1.38.
Application Stack Weaviate is installed under /opt/weaviate from the official release binary and run by an unprivileged service account. It listens on the loopback address and an nginx reverse proxy fronts it on port 80, exposing the unauthenticated readiness probe and the data APIs. A systemd service starts the database on boot and restarts it on failure.
Secure By Default Anonymous access is disabled and API-key authentication is enabled. This image generates a fresh API key, unique to your instance, on its first boot and writes it to a root only file. No shared or default key ships in the image. Callers authenticate with the standard Authorization Bearer header.
Ready To Use Connect with the Weaviate client, create a collection, and add objects with your own vectors or via an external vectorizer you configure. Your data lives on a dedicated, independently resizable storage volume kept separate from the operating system disk. The image ships no embedding model and is CPU only.

64-bit (x86) Amazon Machine Image (AMI)
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.

Additional details
Usage instructions
Connect via SSH on port 22 as the default login user for your operating system variant (the user guide lists it per variant; on Ubuntu it is 'ubuntu'). Weaviate is served by nginx on port 80. Retrieve the generated API key with: sudo cat /root/weaviate-credentials.txt. The readiness probe is open at http://<instance-public-ip>/v1/.well-known/ready; the data APIs require the API key as 'Authorization: Bearer <api-key>'. Point the Weaviate client at http://<instance-public-ip>/ with the API key. The server runs on loopback port 8080 (REST + GraphQL) with gRPC on 50051, and is managed with systemctl (weaviate.service, nginx.service). Data is stored under /var/lib/weaviate. The user guide covers creating collections, adding objects and vectors, configuring a vectorizer, backups and enabling HTTPS.
