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.
The software itself is free, so you pay only for the AWS EC2 compute you run it on. You choose an hourly instance based on how much processing power and memory you need. The m5 family runs from m5.large up to m5.24xlarge, adding CPU and memory at each step. The t3 and t3a families offer smaller options: t3.medium, t3a.medium, t3.large, t3a.large, plus xlarge and 2xlarge sizes. Pricing scales with the instance size you pick. Larger instances cost more per hour and suit heavier traffic or larger datasets.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
What do the m5 versus t3 and t3a instance families mean for how my hourly cost behaves?
The m5 family provides steady CPU and memory, suited to consistent traffic. The t3 and t3a families are burstable, offering baseline performance with short spikes, which fits lighter or uneven workloads. Each hour of the running instance is billed. Larger sizes cost more per hour.
Am I charged when the EC2 instance running CKAN is stopped?
The CKAN software is free, so no software charge applies. You pay AWS for the instance while it runs. A stopped instance stops accruing hourly compute charges, but attached storage may still incur AWS storage fees. Billing meters the running instance-hours you choose.
Does this listing include managed hosting, patching, or support from the vendor?
No. This is a pre-configured, ready-to-run image with CKAN and extensions like harvest and pages installed. It carries no software fee. Ongoing managed hosting, security patch assessment, backups, and version currency are handled through a separate engagement with the vendor, not through this listing.

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.
After the instance is started, you will be able to access the CKAN interface via a web browser using the IP of your instance.
Use 'rocky' as the username to SSH into the instance.
In order to access all of the functions of the system, you will need to login with a sysadmin account. You can reset the 'sysadmin' user's password via SSH by following the instructions at https://helpdesk.links.com.au/kb/faq.php?id=10
