Redis® is an open source (BSD licensed), high performance, in memory data structure store used as a database, cache, and message broker. Pre-configured Redis in-memory data store on Ubuntu 26.04 for caching, session storage, and real-time analytics. Launch-ready for DevOps teams and platform engineers.
Overview
Redis®* Server on Ubuntu 26.04
Redis®* is an open source (BSD licensed), in-memory data structure store used as a database, cache, and message broker. This AMI from Cloud Infrastructure Services delivers a production-ready Redis deployment on Ubuntu 26.04, pre-configured and optimized for AWS EC2 workloads. Launch a fully functional Redis endpoint in minutes - no manual compilation, dependency management, or OS-level configuration required.
Why Choose This Redis®* AMI
- Launch-ready deployment - Redis is pre-installed and configured with sensible defaults. Connect via redis-cli within minutes of instance launch.
- Pre-configured security defaults - Ships with bind address restricted to localhost, protected-mode enabled, and recommended security group settings to prevent unintended public exposure.
- Full Redis feature access - This AMI gives you unrestricted access to all Redis capabilities including Lua scripting, custom modules, and advanced configuration.
- Trusted by thousands of AWS customers - Cloud Infrastructure Services AMIs are deployed across organizations ranging from startups to enterprises running production workloads on AWS.
Security and Network Isolation
- TLS support - Configure TLS encryption for data in transit between clients and the Redis server.
- Network isolation - Deploy within a private subnet in your VPC with no public IP. Use security groups to restrict access to port 6379 from authorized application servers only.
- Authentication - Set a strong password via requirepass in redis.conf. ACL support provides granular user-level access control.
- Persistence encryption - Store RDB snapshots and AOF files on encrypted EBS volumes for data-at-rest protection.
- OS hardening - Ubuntu 26.04 base with automatic security updates enabled.
Redis®* Common Use Cases
- E-commerce session caching - Store millions of concurrent user sessions during peak traffic events like flash sales, serving session lookups in under 1ms across your application fleet.
- API response caching - Cache database queries and API responses behind your application gateway to reduce backend load and cut response times for end users.
- Real-time analytics and leaderboards - Use sorted sets, counters, and HyperLogLogs for live rankings, metrics dashboards, and unique visitor counts.
- Message broker and job queues - Power pub/sub messaging, event streams, and background job queues between microservices running on ECS, EKS, or EC2.
- Geospatial applications - Index and query location data for proximity search, delivery routing, and mapping features.
Redis®* Key Features
Performance and data structures
- In-memory storage delivering sub-millisecond response times
- Rich data structures: strings, hashes, lists, sets, sorted sets, bitmaps, HyperLogLogs, geospatial indexes, and streams
- Keys with configurable time-to-live and LRU eviction policies
Availability and scale
- Built-in asynchronous replication with fast non-blocking synchronization
- High availability via Redis Sentinel with automatic failover
- Automatic partitioning across nodes with Redis Cluster
Persistence and durability
- Point-in-time RDB snapshots to disk
- Append-only file (AOF) logging for every write operation
- Configurable persistence or disable entirely for pure caching
Programmability
- Lua scripting and transactions
- Pub/Sub messaging
- Client libraries for Java, Python, PHP, C, C++, C#, JavaScript, Node.js, Ruby, Go, and more
Deployment Details
- Instance requirements - Minimum t3.small (2 GB RAM). For production caching workloads, m5.large or r5.large recommended. Dataset must fit in available instance memory minus OS overhead.
- Ports - Redis on port 6379 (configurable), SSH on port 22.
- Persistence - Requires EBS volume for RDB/AOF storage. Use gp3 or io2 volumes for write-heavy workloads.
- Networking - Deploy in a private subnet. Attach a security group allowing inbound 6379 only from your application security group.
This AMI is a single-node deployment. For multi-node replication or Redis Cluster, launch additional instances and configure replication in redis.conf.

Highlights
- Launch-ready Redis deployment in minutes: Pre-configured on Ubuntu 26.04 with sensible security defaults including protected-mode enabled, localhost binding, and recommended security group settings. No manual compilation or dependency management required. Maintain full control over configuration, persistence, clustering, and all Redis commands.
- High availability, replication, and scale: Built-in asynchronous replication with fast non-blocking synchronization, Redis Sentinel for automatic failover detection and promotion, and Redis Cluster for automatic partitioning across multiple nodes. Configurable persistence via RDB snapshots or append-only file logging protects your data on encrypted EBS volumes. Deploy within a private VPC subnet with TLS support for data in transit.
- Versatile data structures for any workload: Supports strings, hashes, lists, sets, sorted sets, bitmaps, HyperLogLogs, geospatial indexes, and streams. Ideal for e-commerce session caching during peak traffic, API response caching, real-time leaderboards, pub/sub messaging between microservices, and job queues. Client libraries available for Java, Python, Node.js, Go, Ruby, PHP, C#, and more.

Dimensions summary
You pay by the hour for running Redis on an Ubuntu virtual machine. Pricing is not a set of tiers or plans. Instead, each dimension maps to a specific AWS EC2 instance type. Your rate depends only on which instance size you pick. Smaller instances with fewer CPU and memory resources cost less per hour. Larger compute, memory, or storage-focused instances cost more per hour. You can choose instances tuned for general use, memory-heavy caching, high storage, or GPU work. Billing runs while the instance is on, so total cost scales with usage hours.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
Each hourly unit is one running EC2 virtual machine of the instance type you select. The rate covers the Redis software preconfigured on Ubuntu. You still pay the underlying AWS compute and any storage charges separately. Redis is open source, so the fee reflects the packaged, ready-to-run image.
Software charges accrue only while the instance runs. A stopped instance does not add hourly software fees. You may still pay AWS for attached storage on a stopped instance. Billing tracks running hours, so shutting down the machine halts the per-hour software cost.
Redis holds data in memory, so memory-focused instances suit cache and database workloads. Storage-heavy or GPU instances fit other needs. Your hourly rate follows the instance you choose. Match CPU and memory to your dataset size and connection load, then select that matching dimension.
