Overview
Weaviate 1.34.8 on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS with Free Maintenance Support by PCloudhosting
Weaviate on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS is available on AWS Marketplace as an open-source deployment with optional maintenance support from PCloudhosting. It gives teams a simple way to run a robust vector database on Amazon EC2 without dealing with complicated setup.
Weaviate is built for modern AI workloads. It stores your data and vector embeddings together, which makes it easy to run semantic search, recommendations, classification, and Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG). Instead of searching only by keywords, Weaviate lets you search by meaning.
Using the Marketplace AMI, you can launch Weaviate in minutes and start building AI features right away.
What Weaviate Is Commonly Used For
Teams use Weaviate to:
- Build semantic search over documents or content
- Create recommendation systems
- Power RAG pipelines for LLM applications
- Search text, images, or mixed data types
- Manage embeddings for AI projects
- Add intelligence to apps without complex pipelines
It works well for chat apps, knowledge bases, internal tools, and AI products.
Core Technical Capabilities
- Runs on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS
- Open-source vector database
- Stores objects and embeddings side by side
- High-dimensional similarity search
- Hybrid search (semantic plus keyword)
- Graph-style relationships between data objects
- JSON-like schema for flexible data models
- Supports text, images, and other media types
- Designed for RAG workflows
- Scales to large datasets with low-latency queries

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.
