Overview CockroachDB is the open source distributed SQL database from Cockroach Labs. It is wire compatible with PostgreSQL, strongly consistent, horizontally scalable, and survives node failures without manual failover. This image delivers CockroachDB fully installed and ready, so a complete SQL database is running within minutes of launch. The current release available is CockroachDB 25.4.
Database Stack CockroachDB runs as a systemd service in single node mode. The binary is a single statically compiled Go executable, so the image carries no JVM, no Erlang VM and no separate Python interpreter. The SQL and replication port is 26257 and speaks the PostgreSQL wire protocol; the DB Console admin interface serves the cluster dashboard, SQL activity, jobs and metrics on port 8080.
Secure First Boot On the first boot of your instance a one shot service starts CockroachDB, creates a SQL user named admin, generates a fresh per instance password and stores the plain text value in a root only file. No shared or default credentials ship in the image, and the database is never left accessible without authentication.
PostgreSQL Compatible Every client and driver that speaks the PostgreSQL wire protocol talks to CockroachDB unchanged. The psql command line, every JDBC and ODBC driver, every Postgres ORM and the pgAdmin web UI all connect to port 26257 with no application changes.
Ready To Use The CockroachDB service, store directory and admin user are all prepared. Browse to the instance address on the DB Console port to open the admin interface, or connect any PostgreSQL client to port 26257. Database files are kept on a dedicated, independently resizable data disk.

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.

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). CockroachDB serves the SQL wire protocol on port 26257 and the DB Console web admin on port 8080. Browse to http://<instance-public-ip>:8080/ to open the DB Console. Retrieve the generated admin password with: sudo cat /root/cockroachdb-credentials.txt. Restrict ports 26257 and 8080 to trusted networks. To enable TLS (recommended for production), follow the hardening section of the user guide.
