Production-ready Jenkins with full root access, automated backups, and security hardening - a self-hosted CI/CD server for build, test, and deployment automation on AWS.
This fully managed Jenkins solution delivers a production-ready CI/CD automation server on AWS, built on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS. Every instance is pre-configured with security best practices, performance optimizations, and automated operations.
Why Choose Self-Hosted Jenkins?
Jenkins is the most widely adopted CI/CD server with 1800+ plugins. This AMI gives you full root and OS-level access to configure custom build agents, pipeline libraries, authentication providers, and artifact storage without per-user pricing or build-minute limits.
Key Features
Complete CI/CD Platform
Jenkins pre-configured with Pipeline support, Blue Ocean UI, common build tool plugins, and Docker integration for containerized builds.
Automated Backup and Recovery
Pre-configured daily backups of Jenkins home with 7-day retention. One-command restore for fast disaster recovery.
Performance Optimized
JVM heap, executor count, and build queue settings tuned for the selected instance type.
Use Cases
Continuous integration and automated testing
Continuous deployment to AWS, Kubernetes, and on-premises
Infrastructure as Code pipeline automation (Terraform, CloudFormation)
Multi-branch pipeline management for monorepos
Artifact building and Docker image publishing
Scheduled job execution and cron-like automation
Getting Started

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 hourly for a managed Jenkins CI/CD server, billed by the AWS instance size you run it on. The eight options map to standard EC2 instance types across three families. The t2 and t3 families each offer medium, large, and xlarge sizes for general-purpose workloads. The m5 family offers large and xlarge sizes for memory-heavier needs. Pricing scales with the compute capacity you select: larger instances cost more per hour. You are billed only for the hours each instance runs, with no upfront commitment.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
What does the hourly rate cover beyond running the Jenkins server itself?
Each hourly charge covers a managed Jenkins CI/CD server. The vendor handles provisioning, SSL, monitoring, daily backups, security patches, and one-click updates. Every deployment includes firewall rules, TLS encryption, role-based access control, and pre-configured dashboards tracking CPU, memory, and disk. You run production Jenkins without setting up the underlying server yourself.
Am I charged when the Jenkins instance is stopped or paused?
The software charge meters running time per hour. A fully stopped instance does not accrue hourly software charges. Stopped instances may still incur underlying AWS storage fees for the attached volume, but the managed Jenkins software bills only for the hours the instance actually runs.
How do I choose between the t2, t3, and m5 instance families?
The t2 and t3 families offer medium, large, and xlarge sizes for general-purpose CI/CD workloads. The m5 family offers large and xlarge sizes for memory-heavier build pipelines. You pick one instance at a time and pay for its hours. Larger sizes carry higher hourly rates.

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.
Version release notes
Security and maintenance refresh.
Rebuilt from a current Ubuntu 24.04 base image and fully patched, addressing
the operating-system vulnerabilities reported by the AWS Marketplace
security scan.
Built by an automated, reproducible EC2 Image Builder pipeline rather than
by hand, so future security refreshes ship on a monthly schedule.
Hardened: SSH password authentication and direct root login are disabled,
SSH host keys are generated per instance on first boot, and no credentials,
shell history or build-host identity is present in the image.
Container runtime consolidated onto the Ubuntu-maintained Docker packages
so it is patched automatically, and Docker Compose is now installed
explicitly rather than relied upon.
Additional details
Usage instructions
Launch an Instance
From AWS Marketplace, click Continue to Subscribe and then Continue to Configuration to launch the AMI.
Choose the Recommended Instance Type
Select t2.medium or higher for stable performance and smooth Jenkins pipeline execution.
Configure Security Group
Allow inbound traffic on the following ports:
22 (SSH) - For secure terminal access
80 (HTTP) - Required temporarily during SSL validation
443 (HTTPS) - To securely access the Jenkins web UI
Connect to the Instance
ssh -i <your-key.pem> ubuntu@<public-ip>
First-Boot Setup
On first run, the AMI performs an automatic guided setup:
Detects your server's public IP
Prompts for the domain name to be mapped to Jenkins (e.g., jenkins.example.com)
Validates DNS to confirm the domain points to this instance
Requests admin email (used for SSL & notifications)
Configures Apache as a reverse proxy for secure HTTPS access
Automatically requests and installs a Let's Encrypt SSL certificate
Creates the initial Jenkins root user with a securely generated password
After setup completes, Jenkins starts automatically and becomes accessible via HTTPS.
Configure DNS
Before or during setup, create this DNS A record:
your-domain.com <your-instance-public-IP>
The setup script will automatically detect DNS propagation and continue once the mapping is correct.
Automatic SSL Setup
Once DNS resolves correctly:
A free SSL certificate is issued from Let's Encrypt
HTTPS is enabled and enforced
All traffic is securely routed to Jenkins
Start or Restart Jenkins Manually (if needed)
cd /opt/app
docker compose ps
docker compose restart
Access Jenkins Web UI
Open your browser and visit:
https://<your-domain>
Login Credentials
Your Jenkins login credentials are stored in:
cat /opt/app/.env
This file includes:
JENKINS_EMAIL
JENKINS_PASSWORD
DOMAIN
Thank you for subscribing. Your instance is ready to go!
