Core Features & Integrations
Rocky Linux 9 Foundation: Provides a robust, enterprise-grade underlying OS with deep structural alignment to RHEL, ensuring high security and seamless ecosystem compatibility with AlmaLinux, CentOS Stream, and traditional CentOS deployments.
PostgreSQL 16: One of the world's most advanced open-source relational database systems, known for strict ACID compliance, a rich SQL feature set, and deep extensibility through JSONB, full text search, and foreign data wrappers. Version 16 brings further improvements to parallel query execution and logical replication, making it a dependable choice for transactional and analytical workloads alike.
Rocky Linux 9: A stable, enterprise-grade, RHEL-compatible Linux distribution known for long-term binary compatibility and predictable patch cycles, providing a solid, low-drama foundation for a stateful database workload.
Key Benefits
Best Practice Compliance: Architected and deployed in strict adherence to official AWS and PostgreSQL guidelines, ensuring optimal cloud resource utilization, architectural integrity, and reliable operational performance.
Production Ready: Based on a hardened, minimal installation of Rocky Linux 9, updated to the latest version. The database keeps PostgreSQL's official default peer authentication with zero configuration drift, and network access is restricted to localhost by default, providing a secure starting point for production deployments.
Expert Engineering and Support: Professionally repackaged by experienced engineers to guarantee a highly optimized and stable environment. It is backed by comprehensive documentation and fast, professional technical assistance to ensure your database layer runs smoothly without costly downtime.
The Perfect High-Performance Data Layer: By starting with a bloat-free Rocky Linux 9 installation, maximum CPU and memory are dedicated entirely to query planning and transaction processing. This makes it the perfect, conflict-free foundation for relational and analytical workloads alongside MySQL, MariaDB, Percona Server, Amazon Aurora, Oracle, and Microsoft SQL Server, and for ORM-driven application layers built with Hibernate and SQLAlchemy. It seamlessly integrates with modern frameworks such as Django, Ruby on Rails, and FastAPI, and serves as a rock-solid backend for low-code and self-hosted platforms including Supabase, NocoDB, Appsmith, Odoo, Keycloak, Directus, Strapi, and GitLab, as well as analytical engines like ClickHouse, ensuring your database infrastructure scales without limits.
Production Ready & Expert Support: Secured with the latest OS patches. It delivers a highly stable environment, fully supported by comprehensive documentation and fast technical assistance (guaranteed 24-hour response time) to ensure your infrastructure runs smoothly without costly downtime.

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. Alternatively, you can pay upfront for a contract, which typically covers your anticipated usage for the contract duration. Any usage beyond contract will incur additional usage-based costs.
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 by the hour for running PostgreSQL-16 on Rocky Linux 9, with vendor support included. The single pricing model is usage-based, billed per instance-hour. Each dimension maps to one AWS EC2 instance type, so pricing scales with the compute size you pick. Smaller general-purpose and burstable types cost less per hour, while memory-optimized, compute-optimized, storage-optimized, and accelerated types cost more per hour. You run only what you need and stop when finished. Choose the instance family and size that fit your database workload, then pay the matching hourly rate for that instance.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
What does one hour of billing cover for a given instance type?
One billed hour covers running the software on one EC2 instance of the type you select. The rate matches that instance family and size. If you run multiple instances, each accrues its own hourly charge. Counting is per running instance-hour, so two instances running one hour equals two billed hours.
Am I charged the hourly rate when my instance is stopped or paused?
The software charge meters running instance time only. A fully stopped instance does not accrue the hourly software rate. Underlying AWS resources such as attached storage may still incur separate AWS fees while stopped. To halt software charges, stop the instance when your database work finishes.
What is included with the software beyond the operating system and database?
Each hourly rate includes PostgreSQL-16 running on Rocky Linux 9 with vendor support from Easycloud. The vendor also provides managed database services, migration help, performance tuning, and security hardening. These professional services are arranged separately with the vendor and are not part of the hourly instance charge.

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.

Usage instructions
Connection Methods
Once launched, SSH into the instance. The default username is 'rocky'. You can switch to the root user environment by running: sudo su -
Access the database (peer authentication): This AMI uses PostgreSQL's official default peer authentication, so the 'postgres' database user has no password. Log in locally by running: sudo -u postgres psql
Run a query: Once inside the psql prompt, verify connectivity with: SELECT version();
Remote or password access (optional): By default only localhost is allowed. To enable password authentication and remote access, edit '/var/lib/pgsql/16/data/postgresql.conf' (listen_addresses) and '/var/lib/pgsql/16/data/pg_hba.conf' (authentication rules), then open port 5432 in the Security Group.
Manage the service: Use 'sudo systemctl start/stop/restart/status postgresql-16' to control the database service.
Firewall Configuration
SSH (Port 22): Required for initial system access.
PostgreSQL Database (Port 5432): Required for client connections to the database (localhost only by default; see step 3 to enable remote access).
Security Recommendation: For production environments, strictly limit access to these ports to trusted IP addresses only via cloud Security Groups or the local firewall.
