This product has charges associated with it for seller support. Memcached is a high-performance, distributed memory caching system used to speed up dynamic web applications by reducing database load.
Overview
Memcached 1.6.41 on Ubuntu 24.04 with free maintenance support by kCloudHubs. This is a repackaged open-source software product, for which additional support charges apply.
Need to make your web apps lightning-fast without hammering your database every time? Memcached is the classic go-to for that. kCloudHubs has a super straightforward Ubuntu 24.04 image on the AWS Marketplace with Memcached 1.6.40 already installed and tuned. It's the open-source version, repackaged for easy deployment, and comes with free basic maintenance. Want professional help, security patches, or troubleshooting? They've got optional paid support add-ons.
Memcached is a high-performance, distributed in-memory caching system that stores data as simple key-value pairs right in RAM. It slashes response times to sub-millisecond levels by serving repeated requests (such as database queries, API results, or page fragments) directly from memory rather than hitting the DB repeatedly. Perfect for dynamic sites, e-commerce, APIs-anywhere you have hot data that gets requested a lot.
Key Highlights & What Makes It Great
- Blazing-fast data retrieval from RAM - cuts database load big time and boosts app performance like crazy.
- Super easy horizontal scaling - just add more servers (or nodes in a cluster), and it distributes the cache automatically.
- Straightforward key-value model - store strings, objects, whatever; fetch by key with almost zero overhead.
- Lightweight and low-latency - handles millions of ops per second on modest hardware.
- Simple setup and management - no fancy configs needed; great for caching session data, query results, full pages, etc.
This AMI deploys in one click from the AWS Marketplace: launch it on an EC2 instance (even a small t3.micro works for starters, scale up as traffic grows), and Memcached is ready to listen on the default port 11211. It's optimised for AWS-pair it with your app servers, use it alongside ElastiCache if you want managed scaling later, or cluster multiple instances for high availability. Security-wise, lock it down with security groups (don't expose publicly unless you really need to), and you're good.
Other Memcached Options on the Marketplace
If this one doesn't quite fit, check these out too:
- One-click install Memcached AMI (from providers like Jetware) - Pure simplicity, no extra support, great for quick tests or low-maintenance setups.
- Bitnami package for Memcached Regularly updated, security-patched, and comes with Helm charts so it's Kubernetes-ready (EKS-friendly). Awesome if you're going containerised or need automated vuln fixes.
All deliver the same core: fast, distributed RAM caching to speed up your apps. Pick the kCloudHubs Ubuntu one when you want full OS control on 24.04, optional vendor backup, and a clean open-source build. The one-click is for instant prototyping, and Bitnami shines in the K8S world.
If your app is slowing down from DB hits, slap Memcached in front and watch the magic. This kCloudHubs image makes it dead simple on AWS-no compiling, no headaches. Search "Memcached" by kCloudHubs on the Marketplace, launch it, and get your speed boost going today!
Highlights
- Stores data in RAM for extremely fast data retrieval, reducing database.
- Easily scales horizontally across multiple servers, making it suitable for large traffic.
- Uses a straightforward key-value model, allowing quick access to frequently.

Dimensions summary
You pay by the hour based on the EC2 instance type you choose to run this Memcached image. All 21 dimensions deliver the same preinstalled caching software on Ubuntu 24.04; they differ only in the underlying compute size. Options span burstable general-purpose types (the t2 and t3 families), balanced general-purpose types (the m3, m4, and m5 families), compute-optimized types (the c3, c4, and c5 families), and memory-optimized types (the r3, r4, and r5 families). Larger instances carry more CPU and memory. Pick the size that matches your caching workload; billing scales with hours the instance runs.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
Each hourly charge covers one running instance of the chosen EC2 type with Memcached preinstalled on Ubuntu 24.04. The instance size sets the CPU and memory available for caching. You pay for each hour the instance runs, counted per instance.
Software charges meter running hours only. A stopped instance does not accrue the hourly software fee. Stopped instances may still incur AWS storage costs for attached volumes, but the Memcached image bills only for time the instance runs.
The image supports horizontal scaling by running multiple cache nodes. Each running instance bills separately at its own hourly rate. Your total cost is the sum of hours across every instance you launch, regardless of instance type.

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.
