Production ready FreePBX v17 appliance for AWS built by VoIP engineers. Includes automatic IP reconfiguration, expandable storage tools, firewall safe deployment, low resource optimization, and operational enhancements designed to prevent common PBX failures. Free community edition with optional paid support.
FreePBX v17 for AWS is a production focused cloud PBX appliance engineered by experienced VoIP professionals who understand the real world problems that commonly affect hosted phone systems.
This image is designed to simplify deployment, reduce operational headaches, and provide a stable, reliable FreePBX experience in AWS environments, even on smaller EC2 instance types.
Unlike generic PBX images, this system includes operational enhancements specifically designed around the challenges of running telephony infrastructure in the cloud.
Key Features
Automatic IP and hostname reconfiguration:
Changing the IP address or hostname of a PBX server requires manual reconfiguration. This appliance automatically detects and adapts to networking changes, helping ensure smooth migrations, recoveries, and instance replacements.
Expandable storage architecture with simple growth tools:
The system starts with a smaller and more cost effective 20GB disk footprint.
Storage is built on an LVM based architecture designed for easy expansion and operational reliability. Additional AWS EBS volumes can be attached at any time and integrated using the included add disk space utility, which automatically detects new disks and guides administrators through expanding storage where needed.
Segmented filesystem design for improved reliability:
Critical system areas are separated into dedicated filesystems to help prevent disk usage problems in one area from affecting the entire PBX system.
Firewall safe deployment process:
Firewall configuration is handled carefully during installation to reduce the risk of administrative lockouts; one of the most common deployment issues with FreePBX systems.
Optimized for smaller AWS instances:
System services and memory usage are tuned specifically for efficient cloud operation, allowing reliable performance on smaller EC2 instance types where many PBX images experience resource issues.
Simplified operational tools:
Helpful command line shortcuts are included for administrators and consultants. Common Asterisk commands such as:
core show version
pjsip show endpoints
can be executed directly from the shell without requiring manual asterisk syntax or elevated workflows.
Built by telephony engineers:
This appliance was created by professionals with extensive real world experience operating large scale VoIP and telephony systems. The included enhancements focus on preventing the operational problems that commonly impact production PBX environments.
Free community edition:
This edition is available at no cost for business, development, testing, and production use. Optional paid support offerings are available for organizations requiring professional assistance, but support is never mandatory.

Small business phone systems
AWS hosted PBX deployments
SIP trunking environments
Managed service providers (MSPs)

The software itself is free. You pay only the hourly rate for the AWS EC2 instance you run it on. Each dimension is a separate EC2 instance type, billed per hour. They span many hardware families and sizes, from small general-purpose machines to large compute, memory, storage, and accelerated options. Larger instance sizes carry higher hourly rates because they provide more processing power, memory, or storage. You choose the instance type that fits your phone system's capacity needs, and cost scales with the size you select.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
Am I charged for the software when my EC2 instance is stopped?
The software carries no charge at all, so stopping your instance removes hourly compute charges too. You pay only while an instance runs. Stopped instances may still incur AWS storage fees for their attached volumes, but no software or compute-hour charges accrue while stopped.
What does each hourly dimension actually pay for if the software is free?
Each dimension maps to one AWS EC2 instance type. The hourly rate covers the underlying compute hardware, not the FreePBX software, which is free. You pick an instance sized to your call volume and extension count. Larger sizes give more CPU, memory, or storage at higher hourly rates.
Can I start small and grow storage without switching to a bigger instance?
The AMI uses multiple volumes to separate important data, so you can begin with lower disk requirements and expand storage later. Growing storage does not require changing your instance type. Added storage may raise AWS storage fees, but your chosen hourly compute rate stays the same.
