Memcached

Memcached 1.6.40 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.

• 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.

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!
