This product has charges associated with it for seller support. This is open source software, which is repackaged by ThinkCloud. The additional cost is applicable to the extended support of 24-hour response time. This AMI contains Cockpit 348 on CentOS Stream 9 and includes support. It offers a pre-configured, security-hardened environment designed for immediate deployment.
CentOS Stream 9 is a Linux enterprise-class operating system that is functionally compatible with its upstream source, Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL). It provides a stable and secure foundation for running system administration interfaces.
Cockpit is a web-based graphical interface for servers, intended for everyone from new Linux users to experienced system administrators. It makes it easy to perform administrative tasks such as starting containers, managing storage, configuring networks, and inspecting system logs. Cockpit is lightweight and uses the system's existing APIs, meaning it does not interfere with the command line or other management tools. It provides real-time system monitoring and a built-in terminal, allowing you to manage your server entirely from a web browser.
Key Features and Benefits:
Visual Administration: Graphically manage server storage, networking, firewall, and user accounts without memorizing complex commands.
Real-Time Monitoring: View live performance graphs for CPU, Memory, Disk I/O, and Network traffic.
Web Terminal: Includes a fully functional terminal embedded in the browser for advanced command-line tasks.
Log Management: Easily browse, filter, and analyze systemd journal logs.
Multi-Server Support: Connect to and manage multiple servers from a single Cockpit session.
This AMI is ideal for System Administrators and DevOps teams who prefer a visual interface for server management and monitoring.

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.
Pricing is based on actual usage, with charges varying according to how much you consume. Subscriptions have no end date and may be canceled any time.
Additional AWS infrastructure costs may apply. Use the AWS Pricing Calculator to estimate your infrastructure costs.
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 this software running on CentOS Stream 9 with vendor support. Pricing is usage-based, so charges accrue only while an instance runs. Each dimension maps to a specific AWS EC2 instance type, and the hourly rate scales with the instance you pick. Smaller general-purpose instances cost less per hour, while larger compute-, memory-, storage-, and accelerator-optimized instances cost more. This lets you match the instance size to your workload. You run the software on your chosen EC2 instance and pay the matching hourly rate.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
What exactly does one hourly charge cover for a given dimension?
Each dimension maps to one AWS EC2 instance type. One hour of runtime on that instance equals one billable unit. The rate covers the software on CentOS Stream 9 plus vendor support. You pay the software rate separately from the underlying AWS infrastructure charge.
Am I charged the hourly rate when my instance is stopped or paused?
The software rate meters running time only. A stopped or paused instance does not accrue the hourly software charge. Note that underlying AWS storage fees may still apply while the instance is stopped. Charges resume once you start the instance again.
If I move my workload to a larger instance type, how does my bill change?
Switching to a different instance type changes your hourly software rate to match that dimension. Larger compute-, memory-, storage-, or accelerator-optimized instances carry higher hourly rates than smaller general-purpose ones. The change takes effect when you run the new instance. You are not locked to one size.

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
Connection Method
Connect via SSH as user 'ec2-user' to the running instance.
Use sudo to run commands requiring root access, or switch to root using: sudo su - root
Application Details
Check Version: rpm -qi cockpit | grep Version
Installation Directory: /usr/libexec/cockpit-ws (Web Server binary)
Assets Directory: /usr/share/cockpit/
Configuration File: /etc/cockpit/cockpit.conf (Optional, may not exist by default)
Service Management
Important: Cockpit uses Socket Activation. You should manage the socket, not just the service.
Enable and Start: sudo systemctl enable --now cockpit.socket
Check Status: sudo systemctl status cockpit.socket
Network Configuration
Default Behavior: Once the socket is active, Cockpit listens on port 9090 (All interfaces). It uses HTTPS by default.
Port Configuration: 9090 (Default TCP Port).
AWS Security Groups: Please ensure you allow traffic on TCP port 9090 in your AWS Security Groups.
Accessing the Web Interface
URL: Visit https://<YOUR_SERVER_IP>:9090
Browser Warning: Your browser will show a "Not Secure" or "Potential Security Risk" warning because Cockpit uses a self-signed certificate by default. You must click "Advanced" and then "Proceed" (or "Accept the Risk") to access the login page.
Login Credentials: Use your server's Linux username (e.g., ec2-user or root) and your password to log in.
Please allow SSH port 22 limited IPs for access.
