A private MQTT broker for devices and services. Eclipse Mosquitto v2.1.2 on Ubuntu 24.04 with TLS, per-user topic permissions, message persistence and a built-in walkthrough. Certificates and passwords are generated on each instance.
Overview
Run a private MQTT broker in your own account. This image runs Eclipse Mosquitto v2.1.2 over TLS, with three example users and a topic ACL already set up, file persistence and the mosquitto command-line clients.
Launch this version on t3.medium with at least 16 GiB encrypted root storage and at least 2 GiB RAM. Connect with AWS Systems Manager Session Manager. You land as ssm-user; run sudo -iu ubuntu to switch to the ubuntu account. SSH is off: no key pair is attached and no inbound rule is needed. First boot creates TLS material, local MQTT users and topic ACL; nothing sensitive is baked into the image. Mosquitto listens on mqtts://127.0.0.1:8883. Use Session Manager port forwarding or a private proxy for client access. 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. IAM is optional unless you add AWS-targeted automation. This recipe includes no browser dashboard.
Reach it from other machines: To serve devices in your VPC, issue a server certificate that includes the private IP or DNS name your clients use, change the listener line in /etc/mosquitto/mosquitto.conf to listener 8883 and allow TCP 8883 only from your clients. Keep TLS on.

This is a repackaged open source software product wherein additional charges apply for independent AWS packaging, validation, maintenance and setup documentation. The Eclipse Foundation publishes Mosquitto under EPL-2.0 OR BSD-3-Clause; Software Sushi supplies the AMI recipe, pinned source build compiled with TLS, first-boot identity and setup documentation without claiming upstream endorsement.
Highlights
- Pinned Mosquitto v2.1.2 built from official source with TLS enabled.
- Loopback mqtts defaults with automatic per-instance TLS, users and ACL.
- Bundled configuration, backup and day-2 operations documentation.

Dimensions summary
This listing uses one pricing dimension: an hourly software fee for running the broker on a t3.medium EC2 instance. You pay this fee for each hour the instance runs, so your cost scales with uptime. There are no tiers or quantity choices to compare. AWS charges you separately for the underlying infrastructure, including EC2, EBS storage, and data transfer. Those charges are not part of the software fee shown in the pricing table.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
The hourly fee covers running the broker on a t3.medium EC2 instance. The vendor recommends an encrypted gp3 root volume of at least 16 GiB and at least 2 GiB of memory. You connect through AWS Systems Manager Session Manager, so no inbound security group rules are needed.
The hourly software fee applies only while the instance runs. If you stop the instance, the software fee stops accruing. Stopped instances may still incur AWS storage charges for the attached EBS volume, but those are separate from the software fee shown in the pricing table.
The software fee covers only the broker image. AWS bills EC2 compute, EBS storage, and data transfer separately. The image uses loopback TLS defaults and runs headless, so there is no browser dashboard or external service dependency bundled into the fee.

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.
