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 a managed MinIO object storage service, billed on the EC2 instance type you run. Each dimension names a specific instance size across compute, memory, storage, and accelerated families. The hourly rate scales with the size and class of the instance you pick. Smaller shared instances cost less per hour; larger and specialized instances cost more. You choose the one that matches your workload. Billing is usage-based, so charges accrue only for the hours each instance runs. There are no per-user charges in this model.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
Am I charged when an instance is stopped or powered off?
Software charges apply per hour while the instance runs. A fully stopped instance stops accruing hourly software charges. Stopped instances may still incur underlying AWS storage fees for attached volumes, but the hourly MinIO software rate meters running time only.
What does the hourly instance rate cover beyond running the software?
The rate covers managed MinIO running on your chosen EC2 instance. The vendor handles provisioning, monitoring, backups, upgrades, and security patching. Your data stays in your cloud account. The hourly charge reflects the instance class and size you select, not per-user or per-bucket usage.
What drives my cost as storage needs grow — instance size or data volume?
The instance type you pick drives the hourly software charge, not the amount of data stored. Scaling to a larger instance family raises the hourly rate. Storage capacity itself is handled through the underlying AWS resources attached to your instance, billed separately by AWS.

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.

Usage instructions
Launch an Instance
From AWS Marketplace, click Continue to Subscribe and then Continue to Configuration.
Choose the Recommended Instance Type
Select t2.medium or larger for optimal performance and stability.
Configure Security Group
Allow inbound traffic on the following ports:
22 (SSH) - for secure terminal access
80 (HTTP) - for initial domain verification and SSL setup
443 (HTTPS) - for secure MinIO web access
9000 - MinIO API port (optional external access)
9001 - MinIO Console port (for web interface access)
Connect to the Instance
ssh -i <your-key.pem> ubuntu@<public-ip>
First-Boot Setup
On first launch, the initialization scripts automatically perform the following actions:
Detect your public IP address
Prompt you to map a custom domain for MinIO access (optional)
Validate your DNS A record to ensure it resolves to your instance
Prompt for an admin email (used for SSL and notifications)
Generate or accept a MinIO root password
Configure Apache virtual hosts and prepare for SSL provisioning
Deploy MinIO using Docker Compose with persistent storage
Configure DNS (if using a custom domain)
Add an A record in your DNS provider pointing your domain (e.g., example.com) to the instance's public IP.
The setup automatically checks DNS propagation using multiple resolvers before continuing.
Automatic SSL Setup
Once DNS validation is complete, Certbot issues and installs a Let's Encrypt SSL certificate for your domain.
Apache is automatically configured to serve MinIO securely over HTTPS.
Start MinIO
The MinIO container is automatically started using Docker Compose.
To manually verify or restart the container, run:
cd /opt/app
docker compose ps
docker compose restart
Access MinIO Console
Access the MinIO web console securely via:
With domain: https://<your-domain>
Without domain: http://<public-ip>:9001
Use the credentials displayed after setup or stored in the .env file.
Login Credentials
Default credentials are stored in the environment file located at:
cat /opt/app/.env
Username: (value of ADMIN_LOGIN)
Password: (value of ADMIN_PASSWORD)
Environment File
All configuration details - domain, admin email, credentials, and SSL status - are stored in:
/opt/app/.env
Thank you for subscribing. Your instance is ready to go!
